Do you mean there are only 3 of these known or 3 in YOUR collection?

You have to excuse me I am new at this and just trying to understand the million different intricacies of these T206s

by enjoying the cards and sharing scans and interest with other collectors like us

that's the beauty of them...............

[Bieg]

My wife, whose collection these are from, loves looking at the cards and then reading about each player especially from the book "The Glory Of Their Times" which recounts many stories as told by the actual players themselves.

There were only 3 known......now with your wife's American Beauty (AB) Frank Delehanty the are 4 known. It's quite a rare T206 card with an AB back.

Tell your wife....her Delehanty card is one of the nicest looking T206 AB cards that I have seen. And, I have seen many AB cards.

Also, since she enjoys reading about these T206 guys, tell her that Frank Delehanty in 1903 (only 20 years old) had the sad task of identifying the body
his brother, "Big Ed" Delehanty, who had died mysteriously at Niagara Falls.


Thanks for posting.

Wow, so what would that make it worth? Does the rarity of this Delehanty make it worth more than her Cobb Red Portrait AB Back in similar condition?

I assume rarity and condition is not the only factor in determining the value.

Thanks for the help guys.

I read a great book about that tragic incident a few years back. I wish I remembered the name of it.

I would guess 500? maybe $600 for Delehanty if it is as nice as it looks in the scans. Cobbie would sell for multiples of that number.

Maybe someone else will chime in with their opinion

edit: looking at it again, it is a beautiful card. my numbers may be low.

But a Cobb Red/ AB in similar condition would bring a couple thousand.

[mrvster]

you both are spot on......

the real rarity, as ted will tell you, is some of the AB 460 cards that are "rarer" front back combos....

certain individuals trying to complete a master set may chase the "shorter" printed ones....

Ted z needs just a few to complete, to me, the nearly impossible 460 sub set!

tell us the ab 460s!!! that where the moola is.......not the multi printed(which are tuf to begin with), but the shorter printed ab 460's....that's where a few elite collectors here will tell you where the "hidden" gold is..........


Delahanty.....$500.00 ebay/ $600.00 Goodwin..... maybe
