1916 H801-8 Globe Backs
 

Greetings fellow collectors. I was wondering if anyone collects the 1916 H801-8
cards with the Globe backs? How scarce are these backs in comparison with the common Sporting News backs? Also, do these Globe backs command a premium? Look forward to some replies.
Thank You

Yes, they are harder to find. I would put them at the same level as either the Herpolsheimer or Indianapolis Brewing. Not very rare, but also not as easy to find as the Sporting News.

+1

Wow, as hard to find as Herpolsheimers and Indianapolis Brewing? I assumed Globe were a bit more plentiful.

Seat of my pants guess and I agree. All 3 are pretty close but I would go scarce to scarcer of Globe, Herpolsheimers, Indianapolis Brewing.....I don't have any data except watching them in the hobby, as to why I think that.

As for premium value on Globe backs.., maybe if it is a star or HOF'er and/or is needed for a subset. Overall, I would put an average 25% premium on commons and varied amounts on others. That percentage could vary greatly though if a Cobb - Globe or Johnson- Globe etc... came up and 2 player collectors had to have the same card. That is an auctioneers dream.

Throw Weil Baking into that group and I believe you have the 5th through 8th easiest backs--Herps, Globe, Weil and Indy.

Here is an archived discussion of the matter:

Count me in on this line of thinking.

A quick, unscientific check of the SGC pop report shows Herpos the most common of the three (287) followed by Globe (139) and Indy Brewing (96).

Doesn't surprise me I could be off by a back or two in scarcity levels as there are over 20 different backs and some are rather close in scarcity. They have also changed some positions over time. I do enjoy them and remember when there were only a few of us who even cared about the backs, or at least there were only a few collecting them. I still need some Everybody's type variations but I think that is about it.
