Do Big Borders Factor into T206 Pricing or Value?
2 Attachment(s)
Do T206 collectors factor big borders into value? We all know the players, backs and front/back combos make up the value for the most part, but what about cards with big borders? Some might pay more for a big bordered card for a variety of reasons? But if I (you) were doing the Monster, as a set, would I (you) care or pay more for them? We can also leave centering out of the equation as long it's not too far off centered. :cool:

IMO, yes....Especially if they are well centered like this Joss....
|
To pay more for the big bordered card it would also have to be crease free and the corners couldn't be rounded too bad.
I couldn't imagine paying any premium for a big bordered card with any problems at all. |
Nice Joss Leon. I think most of the larger border t206's do sell for a slight premium
and certain people will pay a bigger premium but on average I would say in the 10%-20% range. |
I most definitely pay up for ones I like which are unique and have large borders.

In my opinion, Large borders are appealing and they factor into the overall look/how desirable the card is. I will pay up for cards I find more desirable/good looking, so indirectly, yes, it affects value for me; but directly, I will not specifically pay more for large borders or less for skinny borders and it does not have nearly the impact as centering, corners, creasing, etc.
BTW- Tony, great looking Wajo and Evers! |

I certainly look for full borders when considering T206 purchases. Cards with thin/narrow borders are suspect to trimming. Obviously there’s an acceptable range of dimensions, but if you can get a full bordered example, always best.
Re: paying a premium, I’d say slight, not a ton. |
Sign me up! I love big fat bordered T206's. Like others, I too will pay more for them, but not overboard.

To the contrary I think the small bordered ones sell higher, as that seems to describe so many of the high grade ones.:eek:
|
I'm not a big t206 collector, but I've owned a few. I would pay a premium for a card with bigger borders. Especially on a higher grade big name HOFer.

I would Pay More for a Bigger Border because:
- They Look Nicer in My Opinion. - It gives me Confidence that they are Less Likely to be Trimmed. |
