T206 v Au

[botport]

Ok, what does a T206 weigh? , and what is the T206 that is equal to its 'weight in gold' ?

Obviously a T206 Wagner or Plank is well worth over its weight in Gold.. But What is the break even point ?

Any ideas?


If this thread is bothersome to anyone, I apologize, I thought it would be fun....

Thanks in advance for any info/replies...

I tried weighing a t206...initially my keeler w/bat barely registered 1 gram...so barely 1 gram!

So Peter says about 1/40th of an ounce.
Gold is currently about 1350/ounce
So $34 is pretty close
My guess is a VG common ungraded.


Corollary question is how much does a 520 card set weigh if all the cards are graded?
All slabs are not the same weight. My set includes a good number of all three varieties.
When I weighed everything including holders for the raw cards, my answer was 81 pounds.

Weighed a common using my postal scale and I also got 1g.

Never thought of it that way, kind of crazy when you do!

As someone who has bought a lot recently, I'd be fine with either going up. :D

frank...1 g would be 1/28th of an ounce...don't ask me how I know that!

Peter, I know that, but you said less than one gram. I picked 40, but could have picked any denominator between 28 and 40. If your card wasn't trimmed, it might even weigh more than a gram.:D

Shit Frank...now I guess I'll have to have it graded so I can feel comfortable that it hasn't been scalp--eled!

1 gram is equal to 31.10 troy ounces which is the measurement for gold.

Every time I think that there every possible T206 thread topic has been discussed...

[ullmandds]

Come to think of it...I need a drink!

I believe I will.
How about 1 troy ounce is equal to 31.1 grams. That does look better. Thanks Pete.

I've got another thread for everyone:

"What is your drink of choice...(while looking at T206s)?".

Mike, I saw your first post and thought "My Lord, grams sure are big in Texas!!!!!!!":D:D:D

What would each slab have to be made of to weigh 31.1 ounces/card? Lead?:eek::eek:;)

You would need a half ton pick-up to take your set to the post office, which you would have to buy to mail it.

[jpaol99]

Mike is on the right track, gold and other precious metals are weighed in troy ounces.

1 oz = 31.1 grams

gold is at $1339.00 per oz

1 gram = $43.05

Justin you got it right. Almost took 2 pages. One thing i might change is to weigh say 10 raw t206's rather than a single one and then divide by 10 to get the avg weight of a single t206, the scales might not be reading the single card correctly or rounding to the nearest gram since they are so light.

This reminds me of a great quote, it goes something like this.

"If your teenager knows there are 16 ounces in a pound, they are average. If they know there are 28 grams to an ounce, they are a math genius. If they know there are 453 grams to a pound, they are a drug dealer."

[WillowGrove]

[QUOTE=frankbmd;1251602]So Peter says about 1/40th of an ounce.
Gold is currently about 1350/ounce
So $34 is pretty close
My guess is a VG common upgraded.

Frank, the way you backed into a vg common upgraded made me lol.

Hysterical

So then I could get slightly more for an T205 gold border?

Or you can just break off the right amount of gold and trade it for T206's...these guys have you covered. :)
