A Modern Objective View of E90-1 Rarities

The Keeler Red portrait card is mistakenly identified as part of the Keebler cookie family (42 on the combined population list).

I can't say wether it would apply to E90s, but in the closeup looking I've done with T206 population reports there's a rather clear 2:1 ratio for HOF cards being graded.

Also a bit early, but I think that may be much higher for rare cards or ones believed to be rare.
Magie is in the same range as any p150 common. But we know it's not common.

That may affect the number on the Mitchell.

That the Leach and the Stone are rarities does not surprise me in that all other players represented by two cards have one that has already been recognized as rare or less common.
I would also question the accuracy of the Clarke (Pittsburgh) numbers. That card never seems to come up and I can recall seeing one or two mislabelled over the years, so the true number may be lower.
Also, I find it curious that many of the red background cards fall on the low pop side of things (Duffy, O'Connor, Leach, Richie, Keeler, Tenney and Bliss, for example).

Great work!

LOL.... That's why I didn't find it when doing a search for the word "Keeler" on the page

Judson, isn't it cool how most of the red cards with similar artwork all fall near 44 graded examples! So consistent its freaky!
