Type Cards "Big Six"

[Archive]

Posted By: bruce Dorskind

It appears that the number of "type card" collectors is increasaing
at an accelerating rare.

While it is difficult and often quite expensive to collect pre World War II
sets in high grades (i.e. 7, 8 or 9), collecting type cards
in high grades is still achievable.

I have a two part question for the Board Members.


1) What are the three most difficult baseball card (not postcard, exhibit, match
book and test issue) to obtain?


2) What are the most difficult 20th century regular issue type cards to
obtain in 7, 8. 9?

Whilst one could simply go to the population report and find that only
one E 107 is graded 8 and that virtuall no Boston Garters and E-125's
have been graded, I a more interested in your experience with delars
auctions and grading services (let's limit to PSA and SGC) over the past 3 years.

My experience

Difficult type cards to obtain (even in nice condition) T 208, Darby Chocolate Box, 1912 Boston Garter

Difficult to find in a really top grade Victory Tobacco, Geoerge Miller (7-9) and E 106


Thanks for your time
