1934 Goudey--PSA vs. SGC Pop Totals--Some Interesting Comparisons

One thing I don't understand about the fascination with low pop reports, why? They certainly are not going to be HOFers or tougher commons because a higher percentage are graded. Sometimes commons have a low pop because it is a gamble whether to even have the card grade (it may cost more than the results).
I would guess that once a card gets highlighted as low pop more of that card will get submitted, thus channging the results.

I just think it is funny that people used and pay asterinomiacal price for "low Pop" cards and high grade cards, especially modern cards. It's your money do what you like, it certainly is not the way I would spend it.

One other question for set regestiry people out there. How many people do you actually know tha are in "competition" on the set of your chose. I am on the SGC set regestiry for T206 and T202s, of the 40 some on those sets I only personally know one and correspond with maybe 5 of them. The ones I know collect higher grade seets then my self and I tend to trade with them my higher grades. It kind of fascinates me that people go after these "cyber" sets and have little to no one that is actually "fascinated" with the end results.

One more thought about high graded cards and people that collect them, They have a hell of lot more money than most collectors. take a T206 7 (about $300), with that $300 you could buy a nice lot of 20 commons for that prices. I know I would rather have 20 cards than on really nice one. If I had $6000 I could have 20 7's, but I also could have half of the seet by than.

It's always fun to pay for the holder.

Just me,
