What does it mean for a card to be scarce

In this video I take a look at a few cards that have varying degrees of scarcity. What does it mean to be scarce? Is a 70 year old card automatically scarce? Using the 1954 Bowman and Propagandas Montiel sets as a basis for discussion, we talk pop reports and real scarcity. How do you collect? Do you value a card that is truly scarce?

Great video Aaron! Those are beautiful Ted cards.! I see exhibit card in the background. I am actually looking for the Joe DImaggio at the National.

[@Valuevintagecards-Aaron]

@EverydayCardCollector-Jason I love those Exhibits! No Dimaggio in my collection yet, but a great card. Happy hunting!

I’ll probably do a video on this topic at some point but I love grabbing really scarce cards when I can. I’m trying to fill all the Bowman/Topps Dodger cards but I much prefer a really rare card when I can pick it up. So, have several random issues with super low pops. Figure I can get the mainstream issues whenever I like in the future to I go for the rare things when I can. Another great video!

[@Valuevintagecards-Aaron]

@MarksDodgersCards thank you, Mark! I feel a big shift in my collection. It's really a heavy focus on rare issue cards at this point. Looking forward to your video on the topic!

Hi Aaron, awesome Ted cards. I’m a bond bread collector when it comes to oddball or something that might be a little rarer than the mainstream cards. See you next week at the National, talk soon pal.

[@Valuevintagecards-Aaron]

@RipFan8 great call on the Bond Bread, my friend! Love that set too! Enjoy the National and grab something cool for me. I will be missing this year, but 2025 is on the calendar.
