Default Next Hot T206 Card

The Green Cobb has taken the world by storm. Someone recently mentioned that WaJo Portraits seem to have surged in price. Young Portraits also seem to be gaining some steam. So, what's the next big T206 to go nuts?

For years I've been scratching my head in wonder why the T206 cards are so far behind other cards and under valued. They have been a sleeping giant ! I think there going to surge for awhile now to catch up where they should have been by now . Where is the top ? That's the mystery but im willing to bet it's going to raise the bar like never before. Just My opinion

Good to see the board taking Ebay's advice from the National and trying to stay ahead of trends...

I always felt that the Cobb Bat On was such an undervalued card. The pose, the smirk, the colors, etc.

I wouldn't bet on it, but you would have done very well percentage-wise just getting lower grade but presentable commons. There was a time recently when getting them for $10 or under in groups was a reasonable expectation but they're 2.5-3 times that now.

I'd guess that Lajoie portrait may be the next runner or perhaps the horizontal cards may take another jump.

I dont follow too closely but thought the Matty portrait was already going up. If not that would seem the most likely choice.

I agree and voted this way before reading the thread. Glad to see someone feels the same way. Considering it has a similar overall pop as green portrait (from what I’ve read, anyway... never done the math) I think it’s overdue.

Wow I didn't say that ? I'm just saying I'm surprised it took so long to spike. They have been a bargain for a long time. Sorry your so upset over my post

“Undervalued” and “T206” in the same sentence may be the funniest thing I have ever read on this site!

I appreciate T206’s for what they are but they have never been really undervalued as they are quite literally the most common set of pre-Goudey baseball cards on the planet. Sets that are rarer but not as attractive or popular are “undervalued” (like T207).

Well I never thought I would be so disappointed on a sight I love so much with such sharp replies. I will excuse myself from the forum.

Really? That is all it took, someone not agreeing with your stance on something? Not sure what is so offensive about not thinking T206’s are undervalued.

Some of you are too funny :-) I took the day off got some private emails and feel much better about what I said And maybe I should rephrase what I was actually thinking and writing And by the way I'm way too old to be a millennial and that did hurt uggggg LOL just kidding. Anyway by no means do I mean the set is undervalued what I actually was trying to get accross was so many cards I felt were undervalued for example, how the heck can you buy a card over a hundred years old that's a Hall of Famer for a couple hundred dollars? Believe me I'm very thankful I've been able to buy such beautiful cards at such a good price for so many years. I don't know how many cobbs I sat on for so many years like so many other people and they just never went up to much in value and then recently it's like they've woken up like a sleeping giant and they've more than doubled in price in just one year. Not all of them but your big players you know who I'm talking about. No Digs at anybody it was just my thoughts when I said undervalued. I mean when people are paying $1, 000 and more for current players when you could have bought a Cobb a year ago for the thousand bucks or so it's just seemed the cobbs were way undervalued at the time along with so many others. The dead ball era is my favorite and I am a history nut so a t206 fan I will always be.

It's from the movie Friday. I consider myself more gen x than a millennial. Anyone who's see the movie would get the reference.
