I'm curious to as which of these ten (10) vintage issues our type collectors would rate as the most difficult to find: |

Of your ten choices, it's no contest-the T208 Firesides by a country mile. |

T208's definitely. I've handled nearly every rarity, including eight different Just So's. Don't believe I've ever had a single T208. |

e104 type 3s are also pretty difficult. |

yea...glen's list sure adds a monkey wrench into the equation. T208's for sure are most difficult from the original list. Wow Barry...never had one! |

Correction: I have seen one other example somewhere else. I found a pic of one (Olmstead) in a xeroxed copy of a 1977 hobby newsletter called Sports West that a fellow board member gave me. |

T222's are fairly easy to find if you are looking to buy a single example for a type collection...there are one or two going on EBay most of the time. |

I'm finding these to be quite hard as well, to say the least. SOme of you may remember me from a while ago when i posted the message after i found my great grandfathers collection of these. Im now 7 away from the set, and can't seem to find any out there for sale, let alone any i need. |

I agree, Marc. The overprint turns the card into an ad for something different, with different packaging and different manner of distribution, making the card a representative of a different set. |

Don't forget the E98 Old Puts in your rarity on ebay study. I don't remember a single Old Put on ebay in the last few years and only a few in mastro, lipset, sloate etc. auctions. |

I've always been under the impression that e90-3s were tougher than 2s. And yes, there is a huge availability disparity between e104 type 3 and the type 1 & 2. I don't even wnat to think about Firesides. Selling those 6 cards will always haunt me. |

I would definately add my ugly little 1910 All Star Base-Ball set in the mix for pretty rare type cards. |

Thorpe was in quite a few westerns as (surprise) an Indian after his athletic career was over. It took me several years to find this card; I got it at last year's National. I recall seeing only 2-3 others in 30 years of collecting. |
