Posted By: <b>Jerry</b><p>But I was piddling around Ebay looking for a mid grade T206 Evers Portrait to go with my Tinker & Chance and came across this card. Is this an aberation or is there something special about this card that i am missing. Are Lower Tier PSA5 T206 HOFers really 4 figure cards? <br /> <a href="http://cgi.ebay.com/1909-11-T206-JOHNNY-EVERS-With-Bat-Cubs-on-Shirt-PSA-5_W0QQitemZ180002350297QQihZ008QQcategoryZ31718QQs sPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem" target="_new" rel="nofollow">http://cgi.ebay.com/1909-11-T206-JOHNNY-EVERS-With-Bat-Cubs-on-Shirt-PSA-5_W0QQitemZ180002350297QQihZ008QQcategoryZ31718QQs sPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem</a>

Posted By: <b>Bob</b><p>That pose of Evers comes up far less frequently than the other Evers poses but that is still a huge number for the card, even in a 5. The card's condition resembles PSA 4s I have seen in the past which have gone for $300-400. <br />Too much money for this card. Congrats to the seller though...

The "Blue Sky" Evers is available only in the 150 series and is one of the more difficult T206 HOF subjects. You could probably get the "Yellow Sky" Evers in similar condition for about half as much, i.e. $350, as it is one of the easiest cards in the set.

You never need to be surprised at the prices that people pay for PSA cards.<br /><br />I will have to say since this board was started we have used lots of words but never "piddling", great for a newcomer, welcome to the board.<br /><br />Lee
