Just having a dialogue
with a fellow collector about similar post war rarities. I think certain issues are so rare/obscure that collectors are unable to "actively collect" them leading to significantly decreased demand. I think the T 206 Honus Wagner card is a great vintage example of a card that is not rare - I think at least around 50 known copies, but rare enough yet "available" enough to drive demand and prices. Some prewar cards and post war rarities have single digit populations (some low single digit) - making them hard to actively collect.
