I know there are a number of cards in this set that have variations. Which of the variations are rarest? For example the Mays card has a 1855 and 1856 RBI variation. Which is tougher to find?

    This set appears to be loaded with error cards. The Mays ERROR with 1855 RBIs appears to be rarer by about 2:1

    Hmmm. In the PSA population report, the 1855 version has been graded 124 times vs. 32 times for the 1856 version. What would account for that?

    The PSA SET COMPOSITION lists it at a whopping 10 - 1. The one HAS to be an error!!

    PSA's listings of which of 2 variations was graded are often inaccurate.

    Must be. No way a mays can be a 1.

    The Set Registry has now been changed to a 10 weighting for the Mays 1856 version and an 8 weighting to the 1855 version.

    Actually, I spoke to Cosetta at PSA and she passed on my suggestion to Joe. He came back with the approval and voila!

    Although my understanding is that the ERROR version is rarer. (1855)

    I guess the real question is "Says who?".
