urban card myths

Posted By: warshawlaw

It seems that modern analysis of card statistics and research into card issues is slowly eroding away the urban myths or legends of card collecting. The string re the T207 Lowdermilk is a good example. What are your favorite urban card myths, i.e., those elements of card lore that are either utterly without proof or are in the process of being undone as we learn more? Mine is the T206 Wagner tobacco story. Ol' Hans hated tobacco so much that he chewed it throughout his career (see 1948 Leaf). Another I love is the Plank broken plate story. With more than one factory back, where is the proof on that one?

Also, which card legends are you aware of that are turning out to pretty much be true? One I can testify to is the difficulty of the 1958 Bell Brand Gino Cimoli card. I've been collecting these cards for years and have seen 2, total, since 1978.
