T206 vs. M116 value comparison ?
 

Posted By: <b>steve</b><p>How do prices stack up when comparing T206's to M116's for mid to high grade HOFers? Perhaps 10% less, or 10% more, or the same? Or more like 20% ? <br /><br />Examples: <br />1. T206 Cobb red PSA 5 vs. M116 Cobb pastel PSA 5<br />2. T206 Cobb red PSA 7 vs. M116 Cobb pastel PSA 7<br />3. T206 Matty dk PSA 7 vs. M116 Matty pastel PSA 7<br />4. T206 W.Johnson portrait PSA 5 vs. M116 W.Johnson PSA 5<br /><br />Thanks for your thoughts, Steve<br /><br />

Posted By: <b>Mark T</b><p>Actually i would call the M116 cards "Scarcer" not rarer than the T206 cards. I love the set but there are only 2 real RARE cards in the M116, the 2 team change cards. <br /><br /><br />Edited to add: In the M116 set, there are a bunch of players that have very low population compared to the AMBY MCCONNELL,GEORGE MCQUILLAN but collectors seem to really want these 2 that have the team change on them.<br /><br /><br />

Posted By: <b>cmoking</b><p>Mark, what's the difference in meaning between scarce (scarcer) and rare (rarer)? I thought they meant the same. Well, maybe not always the same, I would never order a medium-scarce steak <img src="/images/happy.gif" height=14 width=14>

Posted By: <b>leon</b><p>That's some good data....I like that your sample has 5 specimens in each category because I think there are cards that sell for more, or less, in a given grade, due to their own characteristics....while they have the same grade by a third party...Also there are cards that will sell for more than their technnical grade...This Matty presents almost as nice as the Clarke and is several grades lower due to a surface wrinkle. I think it would sell for more than a 3 if it were in auction (the Clarke could be a half grade high but I don't really care). It's all about supply and demand........regards<br /><br /><img src="http://www.network54.com/Realm/tmp/1192315400.JPG">

Posted By: <b>Larry</b><p>I've never even heard of a team variation for those two. They must be ultra rare.
