Premium for Factory 42 T206?

[Belfast1933]

I am helping a friend sell a nice collection of T206 HOFers and minor stars and commons and have found a smattering of “factory 42” backs and some other less common Sweet Caporal back cards.

When pricing the Factory 42 cards, is there a typical % premium that might be considered for the card, Common and HOFer?

Any value differentiator for other factory location backs to consider? I don’t see that VCP has noted these pricing and value nuances and wondered what others here have found.

Thx for help & feedback -

Piedmont 42s carry a significant multiplier. The Sweet Caps a very modest one, if anything.

That is why VCP only covers the Piedmont 42 and not the SC

I would not say a significant multiplier, although they should. My guess is somewhere in the x 1.5 range, if that , I have only dealt with the HOF'ers though.

Thanks all... does anyone have a link to the Factory 42 backstory?

Figured I'd add a scan of a P42...

That is a great looking P42, Chase.

Unless it's some extraordinary? rarity, I haven't seen anything but the Piedy's bring much of a premium. That said others that watch T206s closely know better.
And I have always thought Piedmont Fact 42s are bit tougher than people give them credit for.

I have a T205 Cobb with a Piedmont factory 42 back that I want to re holder but when I emailed PSA they said that they can't put the 42 back on the label. Just curious if anyone knows why some backs get on the label and others don't.
Thanks

This is my only P42 card: the Blue Chase. What does a card like this go for? $500? $650?

Here's a couple of fairly nice ones:

Thanks Leon!

Kevin, I have to check, but I think that Chase P42 was around $650. During peak covid pricing a similar one was over $1k. I think currently it's $800-ish.

PSA doesn’t put t205 backs on slabs. I wish they did.

P42 Cobb is significantly tougher than the other backs of his.

Funny, think I picked that up for $30 from John Goodman in the 90s.

Here’s my one and only Factory 42.

A good one to have, Cliff! Very nice.

Thanks so much. I really appreciate it. The colors on this - and so many of the T206s - are so beautiful.
