We disagree with the comment that Geoge C Miller cards are overrated with regard to
their rarity.
Whilst there may be a reasonable number of Millers that have not been graded,
especially cancelled cards, our experience has been that the Milers are among
the rarest of all 1930's gum cards...and very difficult to find.
Miller cards in reasonable condition (6 and above) are few and far between.
The mos recent PSA Population Report indicates that a mere 25 examples
18-6's, 6- "7s" and a single PSA 8 card have met these standards.
That total represents less than 10% of total number of cards graded by PSA (273).
SGC's figures are even more discourgaging for the discerning collector. There is
not a single example above 60 which has been graded by SGC. In total 137
examples have been graded by SGC.
To the best our knowledge only three Miller wrappers survive today. Miller had
different wrappers for the American League and National League.
There are a number of explanations as to why George C Miller cards are so rare.
The candy sold for 5 cents rather than a penny and the distribution of the set
was limited to the East Coast.
