Variation Prices

Certainly the rarity and cost impact associated with the back variations of the t206 set is well studied and fairly well documented. Similarly documented are the more subtle back color variations, bio differences, errors and other varieties of the sets from the '50s and thereafter.

Less well defined are the rarity of the color variations, pose variations, counterstamped backs, Barker type back notations, etc. To my knowledge there is actually no documentation of the population of any of these pre-war variants.

Are there references available which identify or approximate the population of, for example:

OJs by pose,
w517 by color,
Barker annoted OJs,
etc.?

T206 Museum web site has an archive of articles with prices on some T206 ghosts, miscuts, etc. Generally, the older the card, the more profound the printing error, the more you will get for it from specialists. Nice thing is that some of the worst printing flubs of the last 50 years can be had for next to nothing. I pulled a great miscut 1969 Yaz from a $2 bin.
