Brown Hindu back on T206s
 

Posted By: <b>Adam</b><p>Can someone explain to me why a T206 Mathewson portrait graded only SCG 20 is going for so much?<br /><br /><a href="http://www.goodwinandco.com/LotDetail.aspx?lotid=1833" target="_new" rel="nofollow">http://www.goodwinandco.com/LotDetail.aspx?lotid=1833</a><br /><br />Is is because:<br /><br />(1) a brown Hindu back really adds that much value? (I go by <a href="http://www.t206museum.com/page/price_list2.html" target="_new" rel="nofollow">http://www.t206museum.com/page/price_list2.html</a> and that indicates the multiplier for the T206 Mathewson portrait with a brown Hindu back is only 2);<br /><br />(2) the card is of a HOFer and it has a Hindu back?;<br /><br />(3) the front of the card is in really great condition despite the low grade it received;<br /><br />(4) the buyer just really, really wants the card?<br /><br />Or is it some combination of these things? I just find this to be a lot of money and I am not sure what I am missing (for the record, I put a $300 bid on the item, but it's going to go for a whole lot more than that).<br /><br />

I thought I was crazy for just throwing down a $690 bid, but there's apparently at least one person even nuttier than me.<br><br><a href="http://imageevent.com/yawie99" target="_new" rel="nofollow">http://imageevent.com/yawie99</a>
