T206 Experts please chime in :)

On the BST forum there is a T206 green Cobb Old Mill back in a PSA 3 holder. What would be a fair price on this card?
Thanks for the education

Hey Ruben, not sure what the value is, but last I corresponded with him he wanted $5K IIRC

im no t206 expert...but a green t206 cobb in vg 3 would be 2500-3K...not sure what pop on old mill is...but should not add much.

I agree with this assessment.

What in the heck has happened to this board over the years? Now we publicly start threads about specific cards being sold on the BST and come up with opinions on values as well as make mention of something being in a 2.5 holder before now being in a 3 holder?

If you're interested in something on the BST, privately contact the seller...why would you bring it up here to spotlight a card and make it sound like it's overpriced and overgraded?

Not the way it used to be here, oh well.

Thanks Greg, hope you are well.

Actually, the Old Mill back adds a legitimate premium to a green Cobb.

A couple years back $ 1,900

No expert I'm pricing. That said OM would add a bit more value. It's not super rare bit I'd think that's easily 3.5-5k

+1 To what Rob D. and Scot R. have posted.

On a card and combo such as this, only a general price tag can be applied.

In the end it will come down to a buyer's willingness to pay and timing.

If you want to solicit offers I have been relatively successful listing the card with an obscene Buy It Now price on ebay, while accepting offers. You get a pretty good idea of what it's worth based on the offers you get in, and if you like one, you just click accept. Pretty easy. I have found trying the same game on the BST to be a waste of time - no one wants to make an offer and everyone wants the seller to list an asking price. Dead end.

On the issue of asking the fair market value on a card listed on the BST, you could hardly blame the OP for it under these circumstances when the seller is not being price responsive and the card is rare enough for it not to have any true comps. Having said that, under the circumstances, what the card would get at auction and what the seller would accept may not be nearly the same, so determining a fair value for this card according to the opinions of T206 experts is more or less meaningless towards the goal of obtaining this card. But, if anyone cares, I would think that card would fetch $3,000-$3,500 at auction.
