I almost want to laugh when I see McPhee at #2 because I've seen SO many McPhee N172s being sold at auction in the past 5-10 years and I wonder just how scarce/rare McPhee is.

I've seen more McPhees than anybody else on that top 10 list for sale, and it's not even close. Definitely believe the others are tough. It would be interesting to see if there's some net entity that tracks N172 OJ sales (like VCP). I bet in the past 5 years alone that McPhee has been one of the more available HOF OJs. But then again, it's just my observation.

I’ve seen far fewer Rusie cards than McPhee.

I don’t know much about the set- is it the player or pose, or both, that makes it rare? For example, is that Delahanty pose rarer than him holding the bat?

Love that Rusie card.

Ryan if you look at the top 10 for example-- all those players in any pose are tough. So to answer your question the ranking you are seeing is player specific..

Delahanty like some others was only printed in 1889-- the last year of production. Less were printed compared to Clarkson for example.. On top of that- yes one particular pose can be tougher than others, but the list is referring to player, not other combos.. Delahanty with the bat horizontal is the toughest pose of his.. Bat on Shoulder is his most common..

No Anson in uniform?
