Posted By: <b>Matt</b><p>Marty - that actually may end up being a huge steal depending on the grade. The Wilhelm with the Hassan back is one of the toughest of all T205 variations.

Posted By: <b>Turner Engle</b><p>It is the very tough Wilhelm "suffered" variation. If it does grade, the winner made a heck of a buy.<br /><br />

Posted By: <b>Anthony S.</b><p>Marty,<br /><br />It's a variation having to do with the word "suffered" on line 18 of the bio on back. The more common variation looks like this: "suffe ed."<br /><br />

Posted By: <b>Kenneth A. Cohen</b><p>How can one put a value on the rookie card of the last German emperor? Seriously, I have no idea.

Posted By: <b>Marty Ogelvie</b><p><P>THe seller made no note of the variation so he likely did not know what he had.. since suffered appears to be what SHOULD be used instead of the common suff ed. </P><P>Thanks for all the replies</P><br><br>martyOgelvie<br /><a href="http://www.nyyankeecards.com">New York Yankee cards</a>

Posted By: <b>Marc</b><p>I agree with Matt...HUGE steal. I feel that the Wilhelm "suffered" variation is the second toughest card in the set...a genuine rarity. Even with the stain on the back, that is possibly the nicest looking example I have ever seen. That card easily could have sold for twice that amount.

Posted By: <b>J Levine</b><p>Marty,<br />The Wilhelm with the correct spelling occurs very rarely...as stated it is probably the second most difficult card in the master set. It is certainly rarer than the Moran stray line and the Gray with Stats. Not as rare as Hobby no stats...I would put it just above or the same as the Wallace no cap one line and Hobby name incorrect level.<br /><br />Joshua<br /><br />

Posted By: <b>barrysloate</b><p>Good analysis Josh, but tougher than Hoblitzell variation, IMO.
