That’s another matter altogether. The condition, coupled with the type of back and relative scarcity of the particular front/back combo, will combine to impact price/value. For example, a Wajo portrait (yup I said Wajo) is super tough in an old mill back, and a 1 could go for more than a Sovereign 150 in a 6 or a common back in a 7+. Meanwhile, certain red Hindus are actually pretty common, and while they will go for more than a common bank, the multiple is not as great.
There are a zillion threads on this on the site about this.
Also, not all Sweet Caps and Piedmonts are created equal. Piedmont fact 42 is very rare and sells for a major multiple - attached is one of only two known tinker bat off fact 42s. Also, in my experience, Sweet Cap factory 25s are more difficult than fact 30’s in the 150 and 350 series. Finally, I prefer series 150 to any other because it’s 1909; but that really has little impact on value.
