Price

The following chart shows scarcity based on price, the assumption being that the more a collector is willing to pay for the card, the scarcer it is. Thinking about that for not very long, one realizes the fallacy in thinking just because something costs more, there must be fewer of them because of higher demand. Some cards—Jim Brown, Bart Starr, Fran Tarkenton, Bob Lilly, Johnny Unitas and others—have a higher demand just because of the player featured on the card. Other cards such as Joe Krakoski, Sam Baker and Don Joyce have been listed by the guides as high demand cards since the early days of guides and that distinction still follows them today. The price listed below is the average of a player's card from the dataset, gathered from 2020 - 2024. No attempt has been made to grade these cards in any fashion, so cards from poor to mint, graded and ungraded are included. This is an average price and so one could reasonably conclude the card is also in average condition. An average condition card for this set would be about very good; a good amount of the black line would show and there wouldn't be much more than a not very noticeable crease at most. This could be labeled as "the scarcity list that most everyone would expect."
