Thinking about some of the junk era stuff I collect, especially once "hot" cards ca 1989-1992 that are seemingly impossible locate in high grade.
Probably the biggest challenge for me so far has been a 1990 Donruss Harold Baines with black line through star on front. These were very hot at the time of release and don't pop up too frequently anymore. The card, unlike most 1990 Donruss, can't be found in factory sets with sharp corners and edges.
Centering, edges and corners are always an issue on either version (Recent major or All-Star stat heading).
What are some others? Value/collectibility today isn't important, just curious what other items have proven to be difficult in high grade from this era.
