Posted By: <b>Anonymous</b><p>Can anyone shed some light or thoughts on the final hammer price for this SGC 30. I guess its tough, looked thru my log of 600 cards and had one in vg that I sold. <br><br><br><br><a href="http://cgi.ebay.com/T-206-T206-Puttman-Louisville-SGC-30-Very-Tough-Card_W0QQitemZ400019812110" target="_new" rel="nofollow">http://cgi.ebay.com/T-206-T206-Puttman-Louisville-SGC-30-Very-Tough-Card_W0QQitemZ400019812110</a> <br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br>

Posted By: <b>steve yawitz</b><p>I have no idea what happened with that card. It used to be a fairly run-of-the-mill common but has acquired quasi-Southern League status. It now seems to command strong prices on a fairly regular basis, but even by its recently conferred - and undeserved, I believe - status, this sale sure looks like an outlier. <br><br><a href="http://imageevent.com/yawie99" target="_new" rel="nofollow">http://imageevent.com/yawie99</a>

Posted By: <b>Adam</b><p>I forget which person it is, and I forget which T206 common it is, but someone on the Board has a good size (maybe 20+) collection of a specific T206 common. I don't recall what thread I remember reading that on. Perhaps this is that common?

Posted By: <b>Tom Boblitt</b><p>guys, Puttman is by far the hardest.........At one time, I had about 60 or so of them.....(Living in Louisville). About 35 or so Delehanty, 18-20 Thielman's and only 5-6 Puttmans. <br><br>

Posted By: <b>Ted Zanidakis</b><p>One of the reasons this T206 card is tough to find is because it was printed on very few T-brand backs.<br>It can be found with only the following backs......<br><br>Carolina Brights<br>El Principe de Gales<br>Piedmont 350<br>Polar Bear<br>Sweet Caporal 350, Factory 30<br>Tolstoi<br><br><br>TED Z<br><br>
