Which So-Called Rarities are Overrated?
 

Posted By: <b>Patrick McHugh</b><p>Yes i agree. Rare backs are going crazy. It is really hard to define rare. As i guess it depends on demand. t207 a mainstream set has 2 very rare examples lewis no emblem and red cross back. Less than 10 of each known. Can that be said for any card in t205 or t206? Demand and hype create over or underated cards. 49 leaf graziano is rare as are n167 in boxing.

Posted By: <b>Ted Zanidakis</b><p>You certainly have more experience than me when it comes to Kleinow cards and I don't want to argue<br />with you on NY vs Boston. I presented the data I know of; and, my experience with these T206 cards.<br /><br />Since 1981 I've put together 3 sets of T206 cards and I'm currently working on a Sovereign-Only set.<br />In this set I had no problem acquiring Kleinow (NY) and I have discovered that I wont have to search<br />for his Boston card ....because it was not printed with a SOV 460 back.<br /><br />Really, in the prior 3 sets I never had any problems finding either of the Kleinow catching poses.<br /><br />Best regards,<br />TED Z

Posted By: <b>peter chao</b><p>Ted,<br /><br />So what are you going to do with your stash of T-206 cards. Are you planning to leave them to a museum or just sell them through E-Bay. Better yet would you leave them to your kids. <br /><br />Peter

Posted By: <b>Ted Zanidakis</b><p>Talking about "rare'....these are the "rarest". These "T3 type" cabinet cards were enlargements of the T210<br /> cards. They were issued in 1910 and I think there are only 29 cards in this set.<br /><br />Unlike the T3's....they are just B/W pictures and are probably the rarest 20th Century issue of its kind.<br /><br />I have had Doyle and Revelle from this set and Barry Sloate has only seen two of these OM Cabinet cards.<br /><br />LEON<br /><br />Do you have a type card from this seldom seen set ?<br /><br />T-Rex TED

Posted By: <b>Dylan</b><p>Its all about the back!!! Take just the E cards. So many share the same poses and even checklists. Value is directly related to rarity. I look at each back advertisement as being its own set within a set, and many others feel the same way. I think people will only further appreciate back rarity and pay even more attention to it.

Posted By: <b>E, Daniel</b><p>Merely stating my own hunch...<br />Backs haven't exactly been hot until the last few years, and I just don't feel the market is that deep for specific back rarities...shake a few of those collectors out of the tree and I think the boughs would be fairly bare.<br /><br />It was just my humble opinion, and the topic was asking over-rated not an evaluation of what is truly scarce or rare.<br /><br />Still, all in good fun and the best to all back lovers.<br /><br />Daniel
