Posted By: <b>therick99mph</b><p><BR><BR>How rare is this card, and what would a card in about fair condition be worth? I was just told that there are less than 20 of this card known to exist, is this true??? Please respond, Thanks. -John<BR><BR><BR>

Posted By: <b>Bill Cornell</b><p>It's difficult to put an accurate price on this card - if the condition is truly fair, $100-300 would be the ballpark estimate, although some might go higher.<BR><BR>For anyone to say that "there are only <i>x</i> number known" of any T205 is not credible, in my opinion. In the case of the Wallace 1-line card, PSA's population report lists 5 that they've graded. There could easily be 100's more that have never made their way into Newport Beach plastic. SGC has likely seen a few themselves, but their pop report is useless since it doesn't mention variations.<BR><BR>The question of "what's the scarcest T205?" is a huge can of worms - I would say that there are anywhere from 20 to 50 cards that could top any individual's list. I personally think the Joss card might be the toughest, but someone might opt for Scanlan, someone else could pick one of the Hoblitzell variations, etc. For example, the Dolly Gray "stats" card is generally considered very difficult, but 2 of them showed up on eBay last month. It's a set that doesn't meet the easy [sic] defined limits of T206 and T207.<BR><BR><BR><BR>

Posted By: <b>Doug Allen</b><p>I concur that many more than 5 of these exist. I have owned 2 of them and I am sure I didn't own 40% of the worlds population. Interesting enough based on putting the set together I would rank it tied for third in difficulty after (1) Hobby no stats, (2) Moran stray line of stats and (3) Tied with Joss.<BR><BR>I agree in any collectible grade it is worth a couple hundred bucks.
