An interesting way to estimate the sales price would be to take the current VCP for common backs and multiply it by the T206 Back Multiplier, as published by Scot A. Reader in 2012.

Assuming this card earns a grade of PSA 4:
PSA 4 VCP = $1963
T206 Back multiplier for American Beauty 350 with Frame = 4.4
$1963 * 4.4 = $8637.20

At this grade, I would estimate it would sell in the range of $6000 - $8000.

Excellent, thank you. Where could I find the T 206 multiplier?

The T206 multiplier is somewhat dated...and doesn't reflect supply and demand which is the #1 driving factor for pricing.

For sure...definitely no set type of multiplier for the T206 backs. Supply and Demand drives the prices and we know it changes quite a bit. Best indicator for the prices are past sales on eBay and auction houses. There is also a lot that goes into front back combos...do research and get to know the rarity and such...this also drives the price.

Hhmm, the multipliers ARE based on sales data. But, they have a point, supply and demand probably changes too quickly and drastically to easily quantify. If you're a numbers person, it's still interesting reading. Here's the link:

It's my understanding that Scot's multiplier is for common cards, I believe HOFers would be somewhat less than that.

ETA: jcc6252, I now see that you already took this into account above, my bad.

I love the T202s the best.

Watch out Bieg, sounds like the collecting bug might be settling in. Next thing you know, you'll be posting in the B/S/T threads looking to complete your wife's sets.

Not going to happen, just trying to get a handle on what she has already.

I was just kidding around. It's a slippery slope, though.

With lots of pitfalls all the way. You guys have been a great help with figuring this out. Thanks to all.

News coming!
 

Watch this space!

the day before there was a episode. On at 8pm EST. It mentioned the 1887 or so?? Cincy Red Stockings and a letter I think. I didn't get the chance to watch the end of the show to see it. Guess I should had recorded it. I remember it being in New York and Season 19.
So, its possible it was a old show or re-run.

I think you are talking about this

Look Familiar?
 

You were right on the money.

Good timing!
 

I see your wife decided it was time to sell! I think you will be pleasantly surprised with the outcome and have picked a very respected auction house. Best of luck with the sale!

Rare back T206s are still doing well especially when coupled with Cobby. Great looking card.

110 year old cardboard. Unbelievable. Sat in a Cigar Box for over 100 years.

I think she got a good price for the Cobb
 

So excited.

Got the collection of 31 T205 AB cards. 5 awesome looking Cubbies...Kroh and 4 upgrades. Can’t wait to get them for my T205 Cubs collection.

I am glad someone from this forum got some of her collection!
