Cycle Backed T206's
 

Do they carry a big premium?

More of a premium than your Piedmont,Sweet Caporal,Polar Bear...they do seem to be more difficult to find-same range as Tolstoi,Hindu,,,

would a grade 2 or 3 be worth $30 or do they sell for more or less typically?

It's hard to say,but try this-got to T206.org,,then go to where it says "valuation",,they have a system where you can put in the players name,type of back,and grade,and it will give you an estimate of what it is worth.Now,I'm not sure how up-to-date the pricing is,but you can play around and put in the same info,with a more common back,and see what the difference in value-it's fun,and free.

206 has 2 different cycle backs-350 and 460. The 350 is pretty easy to find and just a slight premium and the 460 is a bit tougher and probably 2 times regular value. Maybe a 50 dollar card would be 80 to 100 with cycle 460.

most tough back 206s have kept their value but the common backs are probably 50% what they once were. Also alot has to do with what player is on the front.

$30 for any Cycle in a 3 grade is good in my opinion. 460's are harder to find but 350's are still nice.

I collect Cycle 460s and follow 350's. A good rule of thumb is 2 times for the 350s and 2.5 times in the 460s, in lower grades. As the grades get higher you can drop the %.

I have noticed recently though that all the Cycles have been commanding higher prices than this. As also this will vary greatly at times.
