But then I do a little digging and find an Old Mill Cicotte that sold for $57 raw back in '09 on CardTarget.

So I'm a little confused by the first ever thing now. The card on Cardarget looks correct, front and back match up with the flaws. But I chalk it up to the fact that there may be only two(but not likey) and only one graded. SO , I watch this card get bumped up to $800 and I'm still thinkning under $1000 and its mine, a one of a kind or not. Hours later and all my money still in my wallet this thing flies off the shelf at $6235.60 (after buyers premium).

I do not know if I am missing something and this is the correct value as I am new to this but, Wow! Guess I'll stick to the PSA 3 commons and PSA 1.5 HOFers with Piedmont 350 backs.

There is a whale or two that have stacks of money to buy T206s......and if they need a card they don't mind paying exponentially more than they will ever be able to sell it for (imo), nor do they care (I am sure).
