I think commons means different things to different people. Back in the day, a common was typically characterized as anyone other than a hof’er or star player. In memorabilia and cards, I define it as more frequently seen or more abundant. I picked up the Hoffman. It is the yellow second base with the yellow streak line in the background variant. It is quite rare. Not a “common” Hof’er 😂 It also has very good registration which I really loved(makes up for less than perfect corners and centering.
In the world of t205- I think we are seeing a definitive shift- overall low pop issues/rare variants/backs ruling the roost.

Amazing pick up just a gorgeous card, I heard this card is rarer than the Hoblitzell no stats, is that true? Would anyone know?

Prices probably would have been higher if the auction had been curated.

I would describe overall pricing in this auction as "high prices in hobby holding" as some stuff trended down moderately and some up.

Some great Pirate cards for the collection my kids and I are working on:

1914 CJ Clarke (paid up)
1914 CJ Oakes (paid up)

Both of the above I felt had great eye appeal for the grade - so I paid a little higher than I otherwise might have. I dropped out of a few of the others that seemed to go too high.

T207 Donlin red cycle - SUPER TOUGH card - went for about what I thought it would. Down to 1 on the T 207 team set (McKechnie)

T3 Wilson - completes the T3 Pirates

A bunch of T213's - considering their scarcity I thought I stole most of these!
