Calling all t206 SCRAP experts!

[mitleth]

I am writing to lean on some of your expertise! I have stumbled upon this card which is available to purchase. I only have pics, not in hand holding. Can someone shed some light on if they think this is a real deal y/b scrap! If it is, can some share their knowledge on theory of “print run” of these? Hard to find value! I’m in love with the card but don’t want to overpay by 100000%, so if someone would share value opinions (I know it’s opinion so please no arguments with each other). Thanks!

It's a nice example, there are 3 other Mathewson's that I know of here's one of the three (not my card).

The previous 3 that i know of are in one of Chris's post in this thread. I'm not sure if the one you posted is one of them.

Just a question. Can the sun bleach a card like that?

I have a couple that saw 40+ years of sun while framed in a barbershop.
Other than the bright red, they look just fine.

Considering how few are out there, I'd be surprised if there was more than 1-2 sheets of these, probably just one.

I saw that card on the Facebook group. It's hard to put a price on the HOF players. The common players sell for around $800-$1200 and the HOF players is all about supply and demand, and hard to price. Maybe 50+ percent over regular issue?? There's probably around 4 known, but some other players from the same printing have up to 8 known cards. I own a bunch of the full color scrap versions that were printed at the same time as these yellow/brown scraps. It was probably the same guy that took them from the print shop. I sell common player scraps at around $600 and I have one HOF card (Crawford) left, that I usually sell for $1000.
