Uzit question
 

Posted By: <b>cn</b><p>I was doing some preliminary researcch mainly the 2004 SCD guide and it list Hofer as 10x the value and commons as 40x. I was just wondering if this is accurate and why? CN

Posted By: <b>MVSNYC</b><p>um, well there always seems to be a debate about this...<br /><br />speaking of T206 rare backs, it doesn't seem like HOFers get the same multiplier as commons, i think it is assumed that they already have there own multiplier so to speak (being that HOFers command more than commons), so giving them the same multiplier as commons would be "overkill"...<br /><br />BUT, recently you can throw all of this multiplier talk in the garbage...rare backs have taken off and finally gotten there rightful due. good luck on mid-high grade examples.

Posted By: <b>Dylan</b><p>When you first look at it you say, why would a HOFer with this rare back be valued less then a non hofer. Well its not. The HOFers already have a value multiplier. And then you add the rare back multiplier on top of it, so therefore its a much smaller number. Take a VG common ($30) T206 with 40X mult=$1200 VG Now imagine a VG Cy Young ($500) with 40x multiplier=Twenty thousand dollars! Now you see if you didnt before

Posted By: <b>Scot Reader</b><p>I would explain it this way. There are T206 HOFer collectors who are not willing to pay a full back premium to get a HOFer they want. There are T206 back collectors who are not willing to pay a full HOF premium to get a back they want. There are fewer (although I would say there is a growing number of) HOF/back collectors, that is, collectors who seek to aquire a particular HOFer with every back or a particular back with every HOFer. So you wind up with a reduced premium.
