Sounds about right to me. Not impossible but very, very tough to find especially if you're looking for one or two guys. Most of the multicard groups I've run across have been from original collections where the seller didn't know quite what they had. I did have one fun find at a National a few years ago. I was going through a dealer's table that was mostly boxes of unsorted 1950s-1970s Topps and Bowman cards and I stumbled across a T218 Tolstoi in the 1st box. Since I had the time and had seen one, I went through the rest of the entire table. Found another in a different box. I picked a bunch of postwar cards for my collection too but those were the highlights.
