T206 Magee Cycle 460 Value ???

[Eggoman]

Greetings All:

I have been offered a PSA 4.5 T206 Magee - Batting - Cycle 460!

The Owner is somewhat knowledgeable of T206 values but is NOT very well versed by what certain front/back combinations may be worth.

PSA has graded this card only 6 times with THIS card being the highest graded - assuming that their POP Report is accurate...

While I am not sure that I would keep this card for myself, I do want to make an offer that would be fair and reasonable to us both. The owner IS known to me and is trusting me to do so.

I'm not having very good luck trying to evaluate this rare card.

Would anyone be willing to offer an assistance?

AH's probably better than Ebay for comps on this one... I'll start it off though, $1,2oo - $1,5oo (maybe ?)

Hey Ryan - I appreciate the opinion!

excluding the ultra rare backs (Drum, Red Hindu, Lenox) for the Magee with Bat, the Cycle 460 is the rarest back, with only 10 copies graded between PSA and SGC. In fact, the Red Hindu has been graded 12 times. The AB 350 NF has been graded 17 times, by comparison, the Tolstoi 23 times.

An SGC 4 Polar Bear sold for $200 a few days ago. The PB has been graded 104 times. This card is 10x more rare than the PB. I would value it between $1500 and $2000, personally.

Good luck

Thank you, James!

Does anyone else have an opinion or comment to offer! I would like to make my friend an offer and perhaps even try to sell Mr, Magee here!

Thanks for your insight - this site is the Best - but we already knew that!!!

If you want a very recent comp, wait until REA's Summer auction is over this Sunday night. There is the same card/back, but in a PSA 4. Your example would seem to be worth a few hundred dollars more with the extra half grade.

I appreciate that, Bob! I missed that!

I have a Magee bat Cycle 460 2.5. I'm thinking I paid about $400 for it 3-4 years ago. Cycle 460's are all over the map when it comes to pricing. If the right 2 people are in the room, you could get a lot for it, but it could also go much lower than you might guess.

Agreed & understood!

Rare doesn't always equate to value!

Thanks!
