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.

PSA pops
Looking at the PSA pop report, hard to believe the Matty portrait in PSA 5 has population of 49. The Cobb green portrait has listed pop in PSA 5 of 54.
The others: Johnson portrait in PSA 5 has pop 92, Young portrait in PSA 5 has pop 76, Cobb red portrait in PSA 5 has pop 185, the Speaker in PSA 5 has pop 98. Any takes on the low Matty portrait numbers? Lower than Cobb green in PSA 5, Wow ! |

I think another dimension to this, is when you introduce rare backs into the conversation. These days, they add tremendous value and desirability to the cards. I've been a T206 rare back collector for 25 years, and usually just focused on getting the different backs in commons only, figuring why pay a premium to have a HOFer on the front...well, I have to admit, that's one of my biggest mistakes in the hobby...I wish I had focused on getting HOFers with rare backs...I've done some catching up over the last few years, and have been inspired by Derek H and Ryan H (hi guys)...they were the smart ones!

“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).
