Some player collectors might be able to answer this one.
I often find myself marveling at the thought of how many unopened boxes are out there of any given product still protecting its treasures inside. Or maybe how many cards have been lost for good to flooding or fire. Suddenly a card issue numbered to 100 could become more rare than a card issue numbered to 25.
Have you come across any particular card issue that you've found impossible to locate or just wayyyy way harder than it should have been?
I remember having a conversation with a guy that has a Rusty Greer collection that dwarfs mine a few years ago. We decided that we had NEVER seen a 1998 Zenith 5x7 Gold Impulse Rusty Greer go on Ebay. He didn't have one yet, and I only have one - got it from a guy on Beckett. These are numbered to 100, so technically there should be a bunch of them floating around out there. Makes me wonder how many are still unopened from a product that seemed to not be very popular.
