Ted ZanidakisAll you guys are....MISSING MY MAJOR POINT....that is that this is a RE-BACKED T206 card (albeit,
a reprint)
I will repeat......I have never seen a T206 reprint with a Piedmont 460 back......have you ? ?
There is an ever increasing re-backing of T206's in recent years that I am trying to bring to your
attention. Obviously, this one is not a big deal....HOWEVER.....
CONSIDER these recent six examples that come to mind......
Matty (portrait) with Red HINDU.........SGC graded
Cobb (bat on) with Sweet Cap 460.....PSA graded
Cobb (bat off) with Piedmont 150.......PSA graded
Cobb (green) with Red HINDU............BVG graded
Cobb (red) with DRUM.................graded (don't recall Co.)
Cobb (red) with Piedmont 150.......un-graded
This is just a fraction of the recent Re-Backs out there. Many more exist; and, uninformed buyers
have paid big $$$$$ for some of these. I am simply trying to save someone on Net54 a lot of grief.
Who knows, maybe one of you will be the next buyer duped by one of these re-backs on ebay (or
wherever) that are in a graded plastic ? ?
Dan McKee....this doesn't apply to you.
If "busting my chops" on this thread makes your day....fine, that doesn't bother with me. I'm guilty
of not taking a closer look at the color of the lettering in this Chance card's caption. My attention
was more importantly directed to the wrong back on this card.
Doesn't anyone read the backs of BB cards anymore ? There's a lot of great information to be found.
