Virtually everything that I own...

... could be categorized as obscure. I think that in my entire negro league / Cuban card collection, there are just a handful of cards that have MORE than 20 copies grade and most have less than 10. For me, it has been a practice in patience and excitement when one of the cards that I have been looking for finally becomes available... or is seen for the first time. To each his own, but I love to try and find out where EVERY copy of a card that I owe is located, a task that would be nearly impossible for nearly any T206 card outside of, perhaps, the Wagners. While the tribes that I belong to in these small niches are small, they are extremely passionate, as am I.
