T206 prices
I'm looking all the time for deals on T206s and in my opinion the real value in T206s are in the graded common cards. I've bought several nice PSA 5s for under $85.00. Some as low as $70.00. Last year they were around 100.00. SGC 50s are now trading in the low 40.00s. SGC 60s for around 60.00-70.00. On the other hand, mid-grade ungraded cards are still bringing the same prices, between $30.00 to $40.00. Sometimes you can get a good deal on a small lot of four or five cards, but usually they are pretty beat up. It doesn't make much sense to me to buy ungraded right now and worry about blurry scans and trimmed cards when you can get graded cards so cheap.
I've also noted that it depends on the dealer. If the seller is an established prewar vendor he or she can still get a decent price for their cards, but if its a newbee to eBay or someone that sells other items besides cards, they cannot get a good price.
Hall-of-Famers seem to be pretty steady. I've been shopping around for a mid-grade Cobb to add to the collection and the prices seem to be as high as ever.
Best wishes,
Joe
