S GrossI agree with all the above:
Tbob is absolutely correct in that the numbers Scott H has provided need to have the Anon. backs broken down into "common" vs. "tough" cards.
Scott H., I have also thrown in a totally high snipes thinking no one would touch it, but have lost (or won too high). It happens, what caught my eye was it was more than two bidders bidding high.
I also agree Napoleon backs have a mystique about them. One, I think, is that you can get a "tough" card with a Anon. back, but you CANNOT get a "tough" with a Napoleon. Also, as Dylan pointed out, Napoleon is a advertisement, were Anon. is nothing (other than rare). That is why you can get a lower grade Anon. common for $50-75, were a same condition Napoloen would go ....... (higher).
This is also seen in tough Cycle backs. Cycle and Anon. are about equal in rarity in the tough catagory, but Cycles always seem to go much higher than a corresponding Anon. Cycles seem (at least to me) to have an extra preimun do to the nice color and graphic advertisement.
........... and who said T207s are dull ?????????
