Sorry I can't be more up to date, Pete, but the 2007edition of the Standard Catalog (I only buy it every few years, because the price ranges are at best marginally accurate in any event) indicates as follows:

"Collectors will pay a small premium for a type card of a common player.
Sample cards of most star players sell for about double the price of the
regular issue cards, while DiMaggio and Williams samples sell for about
the same price as their regular issue cards."

With the growing trend for increased values for tougher T206 card backs, however, the above quote may well be conservative. I would assume, however, that type card collectors would be satisfied with a common. As a hall-of-fame collector, I think the Williams would be a neat variation of his rookie to have, and probably would pay a significant premium for one with nice eye appeal.

Good luck in your hunt,

Larry
