Default Are UZIT cards as scarce as BROAD LEAF 460 cards ?

I've been collecting T206 rare backs since the early 1980's. I realize this is anecdotal but based on my experience, I consider BL460 cards and UZIT cards
essentially equal in scarcity.
I also realize this is contrary to conventional wisdom. However, the basic difference which makes the BL460 cards somewhat tougher to find breaks down
to a numbers game, and that is...……...

1....BL 460 backs were printed only on 350/460 series subjects. Furthermore, only 35 (of the 63 subjects) in this series were printed with the BL460 back.

2....UZIT backs were printed on 28 subjects in the 350/460 series. And theoretically, on all 46 subjects in the 460-only series (to date, 30 of these 46 sub-
jects have been confirmed with the UZIT back).


.



Some of you will disagree with my premise here. And, that's fine with me. I look forward to a meaningful discussion regarding this subject.

Hi Ted, you might be on to something...I’ve been saying for years that UZIT are even tougher than people think. I’ve been collecting T206 for 25 years, and have owned more Drums and more BL 460’s than I have Uzits.

I have not been collecting nearly as long as either of you, and I certainly don’t have the same experience, but as someone who has been actively acquiring rare backs over the last two years, I feel like I come across Uzits more often than BL 460s (and Drums less than both). So I don’t which is more rare, but I feel it is harder to acquire a Drum than a BL 460, and a BL 460 is harder to acquire than an Uzit. Meanwhile, I think the Uzit back is cooler than both

Is it true that Uzits were only produced in New York over a three week period? I read that somewhere (or at least I thought I did) in my hobby travels.

From my research BL460 is much more scarce than Uzit, but Uzit and Drum are closer than people will believe.

For what it's worth my research shows 77 graded BL460s, 218 Drum, and 235 Uzits. My data is several months old.

That is incredible! According to the PSA Pop Report there are only 111 graded Uzits and 113 graded Drums of all T206 subjects in existance!

oops lol. I’ve been pretty on top of listings the last 15 months. I’ve seen only a couple of each but definitely more Uzit than BL460 or Drum

OK guys here's what the numbers (graded cards = PSA + SGC) tell us...…….


> > > > > > 79 graded cards / 28 confirmed subjects = 2.8 BL460's per subject (average)


> > > > > > 177 graded cards / 58 confirmed subjects = 3.0 UZIT's per subject (average)



Therefore, BL460 cards are just marginally scarcer than UZIT cards.
I rest my case.

Ted those numbers are incorrect...what I posted above is several months old, so I'm going to refresh the numbers

TOTAL POP:
Broad Leaf 460: 37 PSA + 46 SGC = 83 total
Drum: 135 PSA + 88 SGC = 223 total
Uzit: 143 PSA + 119 SGC = 262 total

TOTAL SUBJECTS:
Broad Leaf 460: 28 confirmed
Drum: 126 confirmed (I think)
Uzit: 58 confirmed

PER SUBJECT:
Broad Leaf 460: 83/28 = 2.96
Drum 223/126 = 1.77
Uzit 4.52

I am not a math major but I think that comparison of ratios does not make sense, atleast for how i think you are trying to present it.

We are in agreement with the BROAD LEAF 460 numbers. Yours is 83 and mine is 79 (I deducted 4 because I have 1st hand knowledge that 4 subjects were crossed-over,
therefore they appear twice in the Pop Report data).

At least that tells me we are reading from the same source. However, your UZIT numbers are way out of whack !
Where the heck did you get "262" ? ?


Incidentally, 151 - DRUM's have been confirmed.

Resource claims Chase (blue portrait) and Mathewson (dark cap) are "confirmed" with DRUM....well let's see some scans to verify this is true ? ?

It's their same type of claims that Ames is confirmed with AMERICAN BEAUTY 460 and UZIT. Or, their claims that Chance (batting), Bergen (catching),
Murray (portrait), Overall (blue sky) are "confirmed" with PIEDMONT 460, Factory #42.


Sorry, but these claims are "fake news" !

These are where my numbers are coming from. Plus, on my spreadsheet (again admittedly data is a few months old) I have 235 cards individually attributed to players.

Doing some spreadsheet manipulation...

Of the 28 confirmed BL460s, 19 (67.8%) have a combined population of 1, 2, or 3. Highest pop BL460 is a tie between Rucker pitching and Willis throwing with 6.

Of the 58 confirmed Uzits, 25 (43.1%) have a combined population of 1, 2, or 3. Highest pop Uzit is at tie between Cobb bat off, Jennings both hands, and Merkle throwing with 12.

I checked-out the data for every UZIT subject (58) listed inn both PSA and SGC. My combined total for PSA and SGC resulted in 178 graded cards.

I subtracted the PSA Herzog from this total since he was reported twice.

I don't know where those numbers you have came from ? ?

Those are the pop reports sorted by back...and then the total of all the data in the column as added/reported by the grading company. If you're adding up individually perhaps you're missing cards that are unattributed to a specific pose. If I add up all the cards I have attributed to players I get 235. With the 235 I am definitely not double counting.

Default Are UZIT cards as scarce as BROAD LEAF 460 cards ?

Hey Pat


Looks like you stayed up till 1 AM in the morning searching thru my 6896 posts trying to find something negative to "slam" me with.
This is not the 1st time you have resorted to this type of "negative" posts here against me. You have done this numerous times over
the past years.

I have never INITIATED negative posts against you. However, I have responded to your's. As Billy Joel once said...... "I DIDN'T START THIS FIRE" !

For whatever reason(s), you seem to have a problem with me. Well, just email me and we can discuss whatever privately online. I'm an easy going
guy and I'm sure we can resolve our differences privately.

Anyway, your time would be better spent informing your buddies at T206resource that they are misleading T206 collectors by claiming the following
cards are confirmed.....

Ames (hands above head) with AB 460
Ames (hands above head) with UZIT

Chance (batting) with PIEDMONT 460, Factory #42
Bergen (catching) with PIEDMONT 460, Factory #42
Murray (portrait) with PIEDMONT 460, Factory #42
Overall (blue sky) with PIEDMONT 460, Factory #42

Hey guy, I am not the only one on this forum that has told them of these errors in their listings.


Incidentally, that old post of mine regarding the blue Chase with a DRUM back was a mistake. I subsequently corrected it. I have been
looking for this DRUM card since the mid-1980's to complete my blue Chase sub-set...…

No Ted I didn't stay up all night searching your posts.

You responded to Jay that you had the number of confirmed Drums at
151 and I responded that t206 research had the number at 153.

When you made your fake news comment (you could have said error or mistake)
it did piss me off and I was pretty sure they weren't the first to confirm Chase
(blue portrait) and Matty (dark cap) so I started with the
confirmed Drum list in your reference thread to see if I could find who
might have confirmed them.

In that post you provided this link

http://www.net54baseball.com/showthread.php?t=90139

which led to this link
https://www.tapatalk.com/groups/net5...1.html#p266235

this is the thread that you confirmed the Chase in and it took me about
five minutes in all to find it.

Maybe you don't think you initiated a negative post with your
fake news comment but I do.

I don't think I've ever initiated a negative post against you. I do
admit that I have several times in response to one of yours but if
I did point it out and I will apologize here in this thread.

Around 1990, I received a letter from an old time collector who was selling off his collection. Among the offerings was this group of 27 Uzits which he was asking $1250 for, or about $46 a card. I passed. The reason I did so- and are you ready for this- I felt it would be too difficult to resell such a large group, and that I would end up getting stuck with a bunch of them.

I equate my decision to pass with Decca Records decision to pass on the Beatles after their January, 1962 audition because, in their reasoning, who would want to listen to a rock-and-roll guitar band? The point is not to wallow in my stupidity but to suggest that it would be virtually impossible to put together a group of 27 Broadleaf 460's in a lifetime, or nearly impossible for sure. And although it's a small sample, it's enough to tell me that BL 460's are much more difficult to acquire than Uzits.

Hi Barry

I have to chuckle over your..... "but to suggest that it would be virtually impossible to put together a group of 27 Broadleaf 460's in a lifetime, or nearly impossible for sure.".

Would you say the same (or even "absolutely impossible") in finding a group of 51 - DRUM's ?

From one collection in 2009, Ron Oser and I counted out 51 cards with DRUM backs....43 were T206's and 8 were T205's. We had adjacent booths at the Philly Show and Ron
brought them over to me, and we sat there like two kids in a candy store sorting out these cards from a T206 find.

So, my point here is that "a group of 27 Broadleaf 460's in a lifetime" is far from an impossible achievement.

Thanks for sharing your story with us....very interesting.

Barry,

This story is awesome. I'm inclined to agree with your reasoning but a motivated collector with a lot of money can sometimes achieve some crazy results.

Ted, what do you think of my numbers?

Default Are UZIT cards as scarce as BROAD LEAF 460 cards ?

Pat

You misconstrued my "fake news" comment. It absolutely was NOT directed at you.

I was referring to T206Resource's mis-leading the T206 collector's by claiming that these cards have been confirmed...…NOT TRUE !

Ames (hands above head) with AB 460
Ames (hands above head) with UZIT

Chance (batting) with PIEDMONT 460, Factory #42
Bergen (catching) with PIEDMONT 460, Factory #42
Murray (portrait) with PIEDMONT 460, Factory #42
Overall (blue sky) with PIEDMONT 460, Factory #42

That there is the "fake news" which I was referring to.

OK, enough of that.


In your current thread, I had an idea by posting my Tom Jones cards that would help your theory regarding the Elite 11 with respect
to their PIEDMONT 350 and EPDG back printings. So, I posted these cards for you......





And, these cards proved to be of help. I was happy to read your response......

were printed using different plates than the PD150 and EPDG's.
but with the same mark on a PD150,PD350 and EPDG we can
rule that out. So a flaw would be found on a slightly smaller
% PD350 vs EPDG for the elite eleven and would be very
low % for a non elite eleven subject.

It also provides what I think is a pretty solid theory for the
mystery in the scarcity of the elite eleven with PD350 backs.

Ted's Jones is the first PD350 print flaw I've seen on any 350
back the theory I have is that ALC used pre-printed 150 sheets
while they were re-doing the plates for the 350 backs.

This theory is supported by the numbers I have for the print flaws.
If the EPDG printing began at the tail end of the PD150 the
printing flaws would be found at a higher % on EPDG
vs PD150 which they are. They would also be found at a slightly
higher % EPDG vs PD350 with the elite eleven and a very low %
for the non elite eleven subjects.


If they did use pre-printed sheets and they omitted the elite eleven
on the redone 350 sheets whether it was intentional or accidental it
would account for the scarcity of the elite eleven PD350's and they
would be a little less scarce with EPDG's because some of them
would have come from the tail end PD150 printing.

Jay, your list implies there is only one (1) Tinker Bat Off Uzit, but according to pop reports, this is one of four (although one may be a crossover). Sorry, couldn’t help it!

Default Are UZIT cards as scarce as BROAD LEAF 460 cards ?

Jay

I started counting from your list and stopped when I saw Crandall with a TWO besides it. Crandall is an "Exclusive 12" subject. I have been
closely tracking these 12 cards for years. This Crandall / UZIT is a unique card. It should have a ONE next to it.

Furthermore, the Cobb (bat off shoulder) number of 12 is ridiculous. The last time I checked the Pop Report data on this card it was a TEN.
And, since that number includes at least two RE-GRADES, the real number should be an EIGHT.


I'm sorry, but there is something wrong with a lot of your numbers.

Abbaticchio Ed Blue Sleeves 1
Ames Red Hands above Head 0
Ball Neal Cleveland 0
Bell George Follow Thru 1
Berger Heinie 7
Bradley Bill Batting 2
Bridwell Al Cap 0
Burch Al Fielding 3
Camnitz Howie Arm at Side 0
Camnitz Howie Hands Over Head 0
Chase Hal Holding Trophy 6
Cobb Ty Bat off Shoulder 12
Conroy Wid Batting 3
Crandall Doc Cap 2
----------------------------------------

Furthermore......Herzog (Boston) with a 2

This was originally my card (Graded SGC 45). Sold it to David Hall and he had it re-graded (PSA 3). It's a unique card, and should have a ONE.

There are a number of UZIT's in your list that I question their numbers. To be frank with you, I'm tired of debating this. I have double-checked
my count with the SGC and PSA listings regarding these 58 cards with UZIT backs; and, again I have arrived at a number of 179 (- 2) = 177.

Really? I now feel like an idiot as I sold a PSA 7 UZIT for around $10K. Funny, when I was trying to sell it, everyone said UZIT's were overrated....I had it posted here on BST for weeks....

Ted- I remember that collection with 51 Drums. I guess you're right, anything is possible. But it still is unlikely.

Troublemaker...

I see those 3 on sgc...since Tinker has both a bat on and off Uzit pose, I couldn't attribute which of those 3 went to which pose count so I left them off. Alas if only pop reports were perfect. I did the best I could with the available data!

Barry, those UZITS are missing so many color passes - I would have passed on them too

Thanks Johnny! I tend to agree with you that Uzit is underrated and should be viewed as closer to Drum. And I certainly agree that the time is now to buy Uzits!

Hi Ryan

My research on these two Tinker / UZIT cards indicates the following...…

Bat Off....PSA (1 card)….SGC (2 cards)……..As you noted one of the so-called four is a crossover.

Bat On.....PSA (1 card)….SGC (1 card)


And, you posted this on another one of my threads.

I look forward to seeing you and talking T206's at the Philly Show (in Oaks) in the forthcoming weekend (21st - 23rd).

And, if you still need a red HINDU, I should have two of them to choose from.

At the risk of wading in to the fray, for all of the 90's and early 00's, I was heavily into rare backs (and still am to a point) and was keeping track of as many combinations as possible from dealers, at shows and at auctions. Over that time, I saw very few Uzits, but saw them in a number of dribs and drabs. I bought both that I could (Stienfeldt and Willis) and sold the Willis through Barry. As far as Broadleaf 460s, I saw them only twice in that 15 year span- once when I bought 2 of the 4-5 one dealer had one Friday night at Ft. Washington (O'Leary and Snodgrass) and sold the O'Leary also through Barry - and a Bender that Sports Cards Plus had in a mailer that I missed out on.
Since then, I have seen marginally more Uzits but more 460's have surfaced than I thought were possible, but it's kind of like comparing California Condors and Whooping Cranes - impossibly scarce compared to the rest of the T206 world.

Johnny, I feel like we had this same discussion a couple weeks ago in the best t206s to invest in. I feel that Uzits are under valued when you can buy them ~2k and Drums are ~5k. They point was made that there are more known subjects with Drum backs. I asked what about Uzits with pop 3 or under and got no response. There are some Uzits that have larger pops, but when you can pick up an Uzit for 40% of a Drum and they have the same pop, these cards could easily double or more in the next few years, in my opinion.

This is the type of research I've been doing. I've seen no Uzits come up with low pop (I think) and certainly none that I thought were a good deal.

I strongly agree that a Uzit at 2k is a better buy than a Drum at 5k given the relative scarcity.

If you want a list of Uzits with pop lower than 3, send me a message.

Are people selling clean Uzits for only 2k? If so, please send me their info.

If you're talking about commons in the PSA/SGC 2-3 range, for example...I think you're looking at 3k+ actually.

Luke- weigh in.

Recent public Uzit sales are:

Lake SGC 30 with a touch of back loss: $2700
Latham PSA 3.5: $3200
Steinfeldt PSA 4: $4000
Hummel (recently discovered combo) SGC A: $6600

My only Uzit is a Wagner that's trimmed but otherwise presentable...was $1400. These are reasonable in line with a 1-2 for $2000-3000. Luke might have been involved in a few of these transactions.

I think beater/low-grade Uzits and As can be got for $2k, but I think decent looking commons run between $3k-$4k, and Cobb bat offs Uzits run like $40k+!! Also, for $5k, I am a buyer of Drums all day long. In my experience, Drums are most expensive, followed closely by BL 460 and Uzits lag significantly behind both, but still 2-3x Black Lenox and red Hindu.

Ted, I think Red Hindus are very underrated and underpriced. My problem is I only want them if they have an HOF front. I will take a common back Drum or BL 460 (brown Lenox and of course brown OM), but strongly prefer an HOF front on all other backs, including Uzits.

I've never owned an Uzit, BL460 or drum but from my observation in
the time period I've been collecting T206's if someone was on a mission to
collect ten of each not caring who was on the front I think the Uzits
would be the easiest by far and it would be close between BL460
and Drum for second but I think Drum might actually be the toughest
to get to ten with.
