Vic Janowicz
The reason the Janowicz card is higher is that there was a period in time he was attempting to buy everyone of his rookie cards. It drove up the price and created a shortage. I've heard the story a few times back in the day.

Thanks Carl - that's really interesting. There was a hoarding story in ESPN the Magazine about a baseball card.... Curt Flood? not long ago.

I didn't know there was some hoarding going on with this card. That's very interesting.
Another card that I've heard is hard to find because the player buys them all up is the 1948 Leaf Jim White. You'll notice the price of this one is usually more than other commons in the lower half of the set. jeff

Topps 1973 Reprints
He shows up, under an alias, in one of the most bizarre Topps baseball sets of all times, referred to as the 1973 Reprint set. The purpose of the set is a mystery as is how Topps managed to get 3 of the 8 cards in the set wrong, including Vic's. Can you spot the other two misidentified players

It's funny - I just saw this in a catalog recently - I think it was an AH catalog, but I'm not sure - I page through whatever comes in the mail and I remember I thought this was strange and actually read the write up. Probably when I was younger, I could tell you who's auction it was - oh well - maybe someone else saw it and can let us know. It mentioned the 3 errors and I recall it said something to the effect Topps was holding a dinner party and these 8 card sets were party favors - don't recall if they were putting this out as a theory or fact.
Clyde McCullough is Vic Janowicz?
