Fact 42 Piedmont T205's

Are they rare and do they carry a premium worth paying for. I have been looking for them and can find more BL, AB, and Cycles than them. Is it more common on a common card or HOF or does it matter????

If you have any info that may help let me know.

They are tough but generally don't command the same premium as their T206 counterpart.

They are tougher. There are a few active collectors who seek them as well. They are not as rare as t206 piedmont fact. 42s. The premium does not seem too much. Maybe 2x for commons and Hofers alike. They sometimes come in bunches. Over the past year, I have only documented about 40 sales of fact. 42 piedmonts. Previously, I had many more documented sales. Just have to keep your eye out for them.

They aren't that tough, in my opinion.

Definitely harder to find in the T206 set. I've had about ten or so at one time and struggled to get a premium for them, if any.

I have 2 Piedmont 42's. One was noted in auction and I didn't pay a premium.

The other was not disclosed as a 42 and I only noticed when I got it.
