Unfortunate you were met with silence, I guess some collectors are just like that. One of the things I'm impressed with about this forums culture, that Leon and many longtime collectors here have fostered, is the generosity and willingness to share information, some of which has been years in the making. Just take a look at the seminal work Ted Zanidakis has done with the T206 reference directory.

It's refreshing to see, whether a member here is new to the hobby, new to collecting pre-war, or collecting a specific set, the sort of welcoming attitude that doesn't exist in a lot of places.

Thanks for the well wishes,

As a long time E94 fan I too have noticed certain player/color combinations seem tougher but I don't think I can say one color overall is harder than others except for orange which any E94 collector will realize is obviously rare. Each collector's experience will be different.

I always wondered if they stopped printing Orange to print more with Blue backgrounds to have cards for the M131 promotion.
