T206 McIntyre Scrap
 

Now that this card has been snapped up, let's talk about it: http://www.ebay.com/itm/1909-T206-MA...vip=true&rt=nc

Does SGC not label T206 as "scrap"?

It seems more valuable than a "normal" blank back. I couldn't figure out what a fair offer was, so I stayed out. What do you think it went for?

Johnny is going to freak....

I will guess $1500. I have nothing to base this guess on other than just my "gut".

I would say around $2,500 direct.

Its nice to see them use the 4th line for additional info but they need to get more consistent. Was quite the process to get both listed on this one.

Great card, Chris!

Got a head ache reading all the stuff at the bottom. Info definitely goes with the scrap card.

YOU ARE RIGHT!

I almost had it, but alas, bowed out to a good friend.......yes trae, a beauty! like chis's Gibson....

card is related to wonka's blank backed rossman...

I will not say who got it....;)

I almost had it, but there are so many scrap that has slipped through my fingers over the years! AND YES! I regret everyone missing them:mad:

the only thing that made me feel better about this card, was a great friend got it who deserved it....

card value is $2500- $3,000....

there is so much I know about these scraps and blank backs , and even more I don't know....

value is a relative term right now....

I hate to keep "hyping" t206 scrap up, the cards should speak for themselves....

value on these will only increase as collectors become more educated and understand these little pieces of the "puzzle"....the are little history pieces if you will...


think about this....

most blank backs are 1 of 1's.....

some have very few sister cards.....

these were never meant to survive....

and now, the irony, are extremely sought after....

the matty is missing 2 or more layers of ink, with a similar shift as Wonk's rossman(I missed at heritage!)....possible sister off that scrap sheet....

this is not a "proof".....but printer's scrap that THANK GOD survived....:D


great card......as collectors start to realize their value and rarity, this will be a 7 k card easy one day!

I see all scraps doubling or tripling in values over the years....

yes I do have a vested interest in them .....and I am very biased.....

but Earle said it best...."Card board GOLD":)

these scraps will sell themselves in the future......as collectors chase the cool freak creations never intended to be distributed.....test sheets.....turned FREAKS:D


SO COOL:cool:

in the meantime...I will try to snatch 'em up more while I can (barely anymore:o)......

if there are any doubters out there....I will gladly trade for T206 scrap....

Trae,

I picked up the McIntyre. Email me and i'll shoot you more particulars. I traded in lieu of cash. Felt better about it that way BUT would of found the cash if I needed to.

I guess the seller got a few P42's... ;)

Nice card.

First, you know I am a great admirer of the scrap cards, so this question is really just that, a question. What about scrap from other issues? Why is scrap from T206 rare and valuable, but not other cards?

Second, now this has sold, what do you think of this card?

My guess was chemically altered. Please tell me I was right for not buying it.

Good call, definitely chemical.

Yeah, I am learning. Thanks.
