T206 upside down back scarcity/ let's get a count

[mrvster]

Hello all......

As you know i love the T206 freaks....i have been collecting them since 1998 give or take.....I have been discussing this with other hard core t206 collectors and would like to test the waters....

I have personally only seen about 15 or more examples roughly....I own 4 myself....a piedy 350, piedy 150, om scrap uppie and a sweet cap uppie...which took years to acquire and thanx to fellow board members like Mike Healer, Mac Wubben, Mike Brailey ect...they are in my opinion super toughies....


a few examples off the top of my head:
My friend owns 4 nice ones that make a mini sheet(maybe he will post)


Jamie's Cy young...


I know who owns the 2 other om uppies that came off the same sheet as my Thebo scrap (great pick ups ) Steve and Jamie...wise purchases.....Chris Brown's sweet 4 back om scrap is another(hind sight that i should've jumped on that one, but glad my friend Chris got it... is another...Wonk's sweet pick up recently...Jimmy's Hot Batch that is one of the nicest examples i have seen

There are a few others...the Levy's have one or 2 I beleive or have owned in the past....and i'm sure Dan prob has ten or moreLOL only kidding..



SO....scrap or factory cut, doesnt matter....


SHOW US YOUR UPPIES
Let us know/post a scan if you own one~!!


If not, tell us about you sightings....i'm wondering how many actually exist, and i wouldn't say more than 100??????? examples are prob out there??...

I would guesstimate that if you multplied by ten for the ones tucked away in old timers or guys who just don't read this board.....


example 15 spotted..... 10 times 15= 150 total examples that probaby exist???


but i'm more inclined to think prob not more than 50 exist

Tell us what u think

Peace

Johnny

Anything for you Johnny! These are the only ones I have. Added the fronts in case you want to keep track of the players too

Nice thread Johnny but I don't see yours! There is a very sweet Dubuc SC out there. What about printing test scraps, Leon's and the recent REA McGraw?

Since most of these are also miscut by a similar amount the top border of the sheet must have been different then the bottom.

Thanks to Jim R & Johnny for calling me on this example.

I think I have seen a few more than 15 over the years but I still think these are Broad Leaf 460 rare.

Great input guys!!

Thanks Johnny for the mini sheet tease

Chris, your right!!forgot about those Glad u got that sweet card, you deserve it...

Jim...Your Batch is the one of the nicest examples i have seen Wow, a blazer! Don't ever let that go...i think that is at least a 10ker

I have been leaning towards what you have always said, these uppies even including scrap are bl 460 tuf or even tufer!!!...


Thank God i got mine when they were still affordable

Excuse the scans

too bad Thebo wasn't brown but i can't get greedy

Magee is INSANE Thanks Mike HEALER off the bottom/top of the sheet depends how you look at it....tomato tomato...

I havent seen any uppies like magee...

Any venture a guess how many of these exist???? I think Jimmy's theory is the best I can surmise....

[mrvster]

I meant haven't seen uppies like the Magee and Jim's Batch....they are very unique....
