What's with these prices?

Posted By: <b>Bill</b><p>I can't believe the prices some people are paying for T206's. Maybe I am way off on what these cards are valued. I would put a value of $250 on this card. Let me know what you think. Thanks, Bill<br /><br /><a href="http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=8751476443" target="_new" rel="nofollow">http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=8751476443</a>

Posted By: <b>Robert</b><p>T206 common prices for 7's in GAI, PSA and SGC are all now up in the $600 to $1250 range and have been for some time now. This makes the SMR and catalogs way of fthe market in prices for these cards.

Posted By: <b>PC</b><p>I understand that SGC 84 T206s are not "common", but paying $748 for a T206 "common" graded SGC 84 seems crazy to me. But then look at the prices of caramel beaters. The market is what it is.<br /><br />However, anyone who paid $748 for a T206 Jordan graded SGC 84 thinking it will be worth more than $748 in ten years might be unpleasantly surprised (remember, there is another direction that the market can go in).

Posted By: <b>RP60</b><p>Well heeled collectors will lay down huge sums of cash for fantastic condition commons, setting standards for pricing that most collectors can never even appoach..But thats life! and thats why I go for good looking low grade T206's..I love them just the same and maybe just a little bit more..

Posted By: <b>John S</b><p>Not surprising...but a bit depressing. I hate to talk about the "good old days" but collecting was definitely more enjoyable 10+ years ago. Unless you are in for the $, it ruins everything.
