Generally, for those rarer sets you would find a handful of those cards around in every REA auction, etc. Now, it's every other at best. Then, I feel like Heritage has excellent cards, but I'm more likely to see high quality examples of something I've seen 20 times, rather than low quality examples of rare cards I (now) almost never see. Maybe it's just me, but that's my feel for it.
