What other T206 cards that are not recognized yet...

[Zone91]

Can you T206 specialists list the cards that have less than say 20 known that are not considered recognized yet....for example the T206 Red Murray miss spelled variation with only 4 known.

If you have a picture or pictures that would be very much appreciated!!!

Thanks.

I can think of a couple, but I'm hoping to luck into one before they get recognized. About the longest long shot of all, but till that recognition happens............It's like a free lottery with about the same odds.

There are a large number of not really rare but tough sleepers out there, the data is right there for anyone who wants to put in some time.

The Murr'y card is listed/recognized under the heading T206 Errors on page 485 of the 2006 Sports Collectors Digest Standard Catalog of Baseball cards 15th edition(and maybe many other editions and checklists). The one they have catalogued had a Lenox back.

Your card is a recognized error card as far as the accepted checklists go. Whether or not the Murr'y is as well received or appreciated as other errors is a different question.

Quite a few of them went in REA last year:

I can understand why you're interesting in these types of cards - could be terrific investments in years to come. Good luck getting your hands on them.

What I do not understand if they are not that collected why such high prices on them I mean the Murray sells for way more than the Demmitt or O'Hara variation cards.

Price history on the 4 known Murray cards (known) on Card Target:

Raw sold for 3069$ in 2003
My SGC 20 sold for 3175$ in 2013
SGC 30 sold for 4763$ in 2009
SCG 50 sold for 8812$ in 2007

I mean when look at these prices they are up there with some of the real good T206 cards even passing a few. This card comes up once every 2-4 years I bet if they came up a little more often the price would be threw the ceiling.

When I see such prices there must be a strong enough demand out there!!

The Tinker in the third link is one of the ones I was thinking of. Only two known so far, and the first was treated more harshly here than the blue Old Mill.

The others are minor, so they won't get much interest unless someone publicizes them.
