Fred, I have no doubt that collectors did use rubber bands but do you really think the top/bottom card really felt the effect that much more than the others? I could see a slight premium for higher grade cards of 1/last cards but really the jump that beckett gives it? For example, #1 dick groat '61 card is valued at $30 NM but every other common $3-do you really think groat '61 is so much more likely abused due to rubber bands to demand a x10 price jump?
