    The most accurate indicator I can think of is the Population Report of PSA graded cards, which you can access on the PSA main page if you are a member.
    Apart from that, it would be mostly speculative.

    They are very tough, especially in high grade.
    I am buying and trading for RC's of Wilt Chamberlain, George Mikan, Bill Russell, Oscar Robertson, Jerry West, and Bob Cousy!

    I don't know about the print run numbers, but the latest issue of Gridiron Greats magazine had a great article about the variations of Eddie Casey's signature on the backs of these cards - there are four variations - and the question of the number of cards actually printed was discussed in another forum Chicle question

    Doug did a really good job on that article, he's been compiling that data for a long time.

    Also a really good article on the 84 topps set in that same issue. image

    Thanks Joe, and you're absolutely right about that '84 Topps article too!

    I have never seen any information about absolute production on these. It'd be interesting to learn, if you can find it. I agree to check the population reports to get a feel for the scarcity of the high numbers vs. low numbers. There are also a few surprises there, in that some cards appear to be slightly more rare than others in the same series. The last I looked at this, the low numbers were approximately 3X more common than the high numbers. I think this number may be skewed slightly, though, because I expect people would tend to submit more SPs if they have them. Also, the crack-and-resubmit game is probably played more on the HOFers and SPs. So, I would bet that the SPs are at least 3X more rare than the low numbers, but they could be even more rare than this.

    Doug
