Default Are UZIT cards as scarce as BROAD LEAF 460 cards ?

I've been collecting T206 rare backs since the early 1980's. I realize this is anecdotal but based on my experience, I consider BL460 cards and UZIT cards
essentially equal in scarcity.
I also realize this is contrary to conventional wisdom. However, the basic difference which makes the BL460 cards somewhat tougher to find breaks down
to a numbers game, and that is...……...

1....BL 460 backs were printed only on 350/460 series subjects. Furthermore, only 35 (of the 63 subjects) in this series were printed with the BL460 back.

2....UZIT backs were printed on 28 subjects in the 350/460 series. And theoretically, on all 46 subjects in the 460-only series (to date, 30 of these 46 sub-
jects have been confirmed with the UZIT back).


.



Some of you will disagree with my premise here. And, that's fine with me. I look forward to a meaningful discussion regarding this subject.

Hi Ted, you might be on to something...I’ve been saying for years that UZIT are even tougher than people think. I’ve been collecting T206 for 25 years, and have owned more Drums and more BL 460’s than I have Uzits.

I have not been collecting nearly as long as either of you, and I certainly don’t have the same experience, but as someone who has been actively acquiring rare backs over the last two years, I feel like I come across Uzits more often than BL 460s (and Drums less than both). So I don’t which is more rare, but I feel it is harder to acquire a Drum than a BL 460, and a BL 460 is harder to acquire than an Uzit. Meanwhile, I think the Uzit back is cooler than both

Is it true that Uzits were only produced in New York over a three week period? I read that somewhere (or at least I thought I did) in my hobby travels.

From my research BL460 is much more scarce than Uzit, but Uzit and Drum are closer than people will believe.

For what it's worth my research shows 77 graded BL460s, 218 Drum, and 235 Uzits. My data is several months old.

That is incredible! According to the PSA Pop Report there are only 111 graded Uzits and 113 graded Drums of all T206 subjects in existance!

Really? I now feel like an idiot as I sold a PSA 7 UZIT for around $10K. Funny, when I was trying to sell it, everyone said UZIT's were overrated....I had it posted here on BST for weeks....

Ted- I remember that collection with 51 Drums. I guess you're right, anything is possible. But it still is unlikely.
