I was just going over the prices for various T206 cards from the REA 2010 auction. There are some interesting anomalies going on.
For example, this EX Cobb went for $1880:
Whereas this EX Cobb went for $3525:
Granted the colors on the PSA Cobb are brighter, but the back is also more soiled. The price disparity seems odd to me. And I've seen
PSA 6's go on eBay for $3000-$3500 within the last year. Strange.
Take a look also at this PSA 5, which sold for $6463:
But this T206 SGC 70 green Cobb, graded slightly higher, sold for only $5875:
No big surprises here, as the PSA green Cobb is arguably better looking and thus worth more despite the technical grade, but I find it kind of interesting. Feel free to post your comments, or post examples of other strange prices that you saw from this auction.
