T206 back variation price premiums

[Archive]

Posted By: <b>steve</b><p>Is there a standardized price multiplier for the different T206 backs? For instance, Sweet Caporal back start 1.0 Would a Polar Bear back be worth 10 percent more, or 1.1. Maybe a Uzit near 2.0 or double. Does Old Mill carry a premium? How do the different back variations rank accordingly, easiest to toughest ? Thanks.

Posted By: <b>Dave</b><p>By the way Steve...if you can get a UZIT back for twice what a Piedmont or Sweet Caporal goes for...I'll buy those from you all day long...I have to beat Michael to the punch on that kind of a deal...LOL

Posted By: <b>barrysloate</b><p>I just looked at the chart at the T206 Museum and the Cobb back has a multiplier of 1. That puts it at the same level as Sweet Cap and Piedmont. Think it's a typo?

Posted By: <b>Dave</b><p>Barry...<br />I think they have it listed as 1 simply because they can't really put a price on it, and there is only the 1 card. Hell, nevermind I don't know why they have it listed as 1...lol<br /><br />Michael,<br />I'm "fairly" certain if someone started listing UZIT's in the B/S/T in a PSA 4 for $125 (2x multiplier) you'd probably be inclined to pick them up....no? ha ha

Posted By: <b>Lee</b><p>PSA 4 Uzit for $125, heheheh. Only in my dreams. I would buy up PSA 4's for many multiples of the $125 price tag!

Posted By: <b>barrysloate</b><p>Jim- now that I think of it, all the prices are based on commons with various backs. Since the Cobb back has a Ty Cobb front, it wouldn't apply. You see, another reason why it is an anomaly <img src="/images/happy.gif" height=14 width=14>

Posted By: <b>steve</b><p>Thanks for the link to the T206 back multipliers. Please check my logic here - Example: T206 Cobb red PSA 5, Piedmont back = $2000. Then according to multiplier tables, a Cobb fits into the "special multiplier" column. If it had a Carolina Brights back, multiplier is 3, therefore a $6000. card. Correct ? Hmmm, do these odd backs really bump a $2000. Cobb into a true $6000. Cobb card ?

Posted By: <b>barrysloate</b><p>Not every front/back combination applies. There are 520 cards in the set and some will be worth more or less than the posted multiplier.

Posted By: <b>Dave</b><p>Steve<br />One of the high grade collectors could be more accurate in answering you. But I think yes...Carolina Bright's from what I've seen have been going a little more than what the multiplier on that page lists them at...at least from what I've noticed.

Posted By: <b>steve</b><p>I have a bunch of T206 HOF'ers mostly in PSA 5 - all in the safe deposit box - Gotta get 'em all out, see what backs they are. Don't know why, but I never paid much attention to the backs. It'll be kinda like Christmas when I go to the box !

Posted By: <b>MVSNYC</b><p>slow down guys...<br /><br />as discussed in detail in previous threads...<br /><br />a large majority of us feel that a T206 common back multiplier should not necessarily just be applied to a HOFer...they go for less. maybe some of the other guys could better illustrate that.<br /><br />but to answer your question a PSA 5 Cobb Carolina Brights back should not command $6000...maybe $4-5K?

Posted By: <b>steve</b><p>Back from safe deposit box I am - jeez, no odd backs, no fortune found. Out of 14 T206 HOF'ers in PSA 5 & 6: 1 Polar Bear factory 6, 1 Old Mill factory 25, the rest just basic Sweet Cap's and Piedmont factory 25's.
