T206 Shappe error
Posted By: CN
What is the real story behind this card? There has been one on E-Bay first listed as a BIN for $6000 and then relisted for $3999. I waited until the auction was over before posting but is this really considered a true variation and if yes is it worth such a high price? CN |

T206 Shappe error

There are a few generally accepted variations to the t206 set. Most notably are the Shappe, Nodgrass, and M'urray. The specualted reason for the errors are printing plate mishaps that allowed for a group of cards to be printed with minor errors. Mine is the one for sale and is currently on the b/s/t, so I will not comment on price. A M'urray variation went for $7500 in the last REA, it was an SGC 50. I think of the 3, the Shappe is the most "common", however. All of them are quite difficult to find in any condition. |

I really couldn't tell you how the hobby generally defines true variation, but I consider the card a printing anomaly of which multiple copies were produced, which I suppose makes it a variation. That said, I don't find the card terribly interesting and certainly do not attach that kind of premium to it. I suspect fewer and fewer others do in light of Kevin's/onlychild's demonstrations of cardboard alchemy. |

Well, I owned this card at one time. I am pretty confident that $3000-$4000 is not out of left field on this variation. When I listed it orginally on the B/S/T I did recieve a cash offer in that range...plus a couple different trade offers which amounted to about that amount. |

Heres a question ive always wondered. What makes one of these variations worth so much yet one we have talked about before on here and ive seen 4(and held 2) versions of the Hemphill card missing the first H,and that card gets barely any recognition. Its no different than the other cards mentioned so what does the Hemphill card need to do to get the same recognition? Is there a person who has to legitimize the error for everyone else to care enough to pay more than a couple hundred for it? |

Basically you have get SCD to recognize it as a legit variation. That's what I had to do to get the e90-3 Hofnlan variation recognized. |

Has this error been recognized by the mainstream collecting community or is it just a printing mistake? I would think that it would not be worth so much if it is a printing mistake but I could be wrong. $ 6000 just seems like a lot for me. CN |
