T205 Multipliers

Hello,

Have a friend that has traded me a T205 with a Cycle back. Was wondering what multiplier to use for the Cycle back?

Thanks,

There really are no established T205 multipliers that I've seen.

Cycles are not common but not rare either. I'd estimate about 3% of pop. Maybe you'd get a 1.5x multiplier perhaps 2x if you're really lucky.

Anything Broadleaf or tougher usually brings a very nice premium.

Regards,
Scott

...there was a T205 back rarity thread on here. I'd find the link for you but I'm not good at munipulating the NT54 search function.

About two years ago there was a large hoard of T205 Cycles found...this hurt the multiplier. I think the above poster was accurate in that it is now usually 1.5 to 2 times the piedmont value. Hope this helps.

Just thought I would mention the great article in SGC Collector Magazine by Shawn Adkins that discusses the T 205 set in depth, with pictures!...great info!!!! Talks about back scarcity , trimming and much more!!!

We have received decent feedback so far on the valuations that are output from this tool:
http://www.t205.org/value.php

Turner Engle was kind enough to use his market data to come up with the base multipliers and prices for our database. These are the current multipliers (spec_multi is applied to SP's, HOF'ers, etc. - basically cards that already carry a premium):



We're using the formula from T206 Museum:

I don't usually bump old threads but this one has a good graph I want to ask a question about. Do ya'll think that with the recent St.Louis find of Drum cards, T205 specifically, the Hindu might have surpassed the Drum in known examples.....hence rarity? (Yes, I have a vested interest but it's still a good question, I think) regards

Sure, any find will skew the numbers a bit. I would guess the two are pretty close to equal now.

In the only article I could locate on the St. Louis find, it said there were 8 t205 drum backs in it and this would have tripled the known pop. Around 25 known total? An older post here estimated about 100 t205 hindus...Do those numbers sound about right? Ted Z. was mentioned in the article, maybe he has some #s

100 Hindus sounds like an awful lot.

From my observation, in the last 14 yrs, I had seen about an equal number of Drums vs Hindus. With the find of (8) Drums that had pushed it in favor of Hindu, for rarity. Now there were 6 Hindus in the last REA and my thinking is they are both about the same again. I would like to know if that (100) number of Hindus was ever substantiated? That sounds like an awful lot compared to what I have seen. Of course I haven't seen everything but I am fairly active in the hobby. regards

ps...Lew Lipset, I believe, has thought the Hindus were more scarce than Drums. Drums might be more valuable because of the aura of the T206 set.

Legendary had another small group of 205 Drums at the last Philly show-I think it was 7 or 9 of them. This was after the St. Louis find.
Ted has the list of players.

Many of us realize how rare the T205 blank back is .... but any guesses as to what a fair multiple would be?
