What's the premium for Piedmont 42 backs?

Via search, I scoured previous posts looking for what kind of premium you should expect to pay for Piedmont Fact 42 backs, but came up empty.

Does anyone have a general rule, both for commons and for HOF's?

Yep, I've seen that before and I know it is one guide, but was really looking for some board memebers' input. With Scot Readers work and things like the EPDG thread, I think theres more info out now that might test some of the multipliers on the chart.

Thanks, btw.

You would really need to find the right buyer to get a premium from these. Lots of back collectors like the variety of the different brand advertisements, but few care that much about factory designations, etc. There are people out there, but they are less common, like the factory 42 cards themselves.

I would say that they fetch a 10x multiplier on commons and about a 5x multiplier on big name cards.

That's what I have found

I think a fair guess would be 5to 6 times over normal prices. I perrsonally think it should be higher but that seems to be norm in the last couple of years.

The 6x multiplier seems to be pretty accurate. I just picked one up for about that and sold one on eBay about 6 months ago for about that. Frankly, I don't understand T206museum's differentiation between the HOF multipliers and standard multipliers. I haven't noticed that the "big name" cards get exponentially less on rare and scarce backs.

Thanks all. I do think the Fact variation backs are more niche than the different brand backs. I think as the hobby continues its maturity we'll see larger gaps in 'value' as the relative scarcity is better understood.

i have always said this is a very rare back, it is always under the radar, never getting its fair do, an underdog, so to speak...every now and then they will pop up on eBay, but a very tuff back, i have owned only 2 in 15 years of collecting...just bought a common PSA 3 for almost $190...maybe a 6-7X multiplier?

I have bought and sold at least a half dozen Piedmont 42 commons on eBay. If appropriately advertised they command about a 5X to 6X premium. The HOFers get about a 3X kicker. The back is most comparable to Broadleaf 350 in difficulty.

An interesting side note is that the 460-only subjects are much tougher to find with Piedmont 42 than the subjects who appear in both the 350 and 460 series. But the 460-only subjects with Piedmont 42 don't fetch more $$$--yet.

I think the thrust of the question had to do with what the market has shown lately.

My Fact 42 back arrived today. Thanks to all for their input and help. Its a 460 subjects-only too, so thanks Scot for the info on that. That back staining at bottom is more than i thought but i'm still pleased.
