Black Swamp Find - PSA E98 Population Report

I assume there are at least multiples of each of the 30 cards, colors aside? In other words, how many complete sets can be made from the find? It seems that the distribution is uneven.

They found 28 different, no complete set. Only one Matty, Jennings, and Tinker (I may be off here) and no Lajoie or Walsh.

Looks to me that the magic number is 22. if you look at the players PSA 6 and above and look at the multiples, 22 keeps popping up.

Looks like Mathewson might not be there in high grade.

Heritage:

"Of the 30 players from the E98 series the collection offered 25 players in duplicate, a trio represented by a single example and two players (Lajoie and Walsh) mysteriously not represented."

I was guessing which cards were represented by a single copy.

This will probably produce crazy registry competition for nice examples of the ones not included in the find.

No Lajoies. That's a shame.

Thanks Matthew. Looks like there will be tons of Near Sets- 25 cards or so- but no more complete sets than before. But the number of collectors who can upgrade an existing set will be limitless.

The pricing will be all over the board. The PSA 10 Wagner will surely set a new record for a caramel card and will be well into six figures. But if you can settle for a Wagner in a 7 it will be so easy to find and very affordable. And what about the commons where there are 20-40 of each one? They won't be too expensive either. Man, this is a fascinating find.

Maybe, since they were in Ohio, the Lajoie cards were given away to kids.
