All the sets that are being mentioned are extremely rare, being that most cards being mentioned are one of a kind. I have to echo the thoughts of Tbob on this one though. The T213-3 (with factory #8 overprint) are extremely tough. I have owned two, an Eddie Collins that I sold several years ago on ebay to a board member, and I currently own a Chief Bender. Other than those I have only ever seen 3 (I think) commons for sale by Tbob on ebay a few years back, and I saw the one (Rube Marquard) Frank Ward won on ebay a few months back (but only after the auction had ended). Easily one of the toughest sets that has not gotten nearly its share of recognition, which seems funny to me because most tobacco rarities are quite expensive. How much are people paying for Broadleaf 460's and Drum's when you see those far more often?
