Blank Back T-206 Valuation/Scarcity Question

[JP]

A fellow Net54er has offered me the unique opportunity to get a Blank Back T-206 Charles O'leary (Hands on Knees), which I obviously need for my O'leary back set. Now I've purchased my Cycle 460 and Broadleaf 460 from fellow board members outside of Net54 (thx Ron and Scott!), and in both cases I got the cards at fair market price even though they both knew I was going for a backs set and couldve asked for a slight premium. My question is this: The blank back is being offered to me at around $2500 plus or minus a bit. Is this a fair price? Even if it is a slight premium, I don't mind paying. But if a blank back common T-206 is worth far less, I'd like to know. I have NO IDEA what something like this is worth. Any advice or feedback would be appreciated.

I have owned about a dozen T206 blank backs in the past. I've bought and sold them for between $200 - $500 with the exception of three incredibly beautiful SLers / HOFers for which I've paid high triple digits.

Hope that helps,
Scott

I agree w/Scott...$2500 is drum money...common blanks should go for 5-800...in my opinion.

I just paid around $400-$500 for a rough cut blank back Southern Leaguer. I think the value of these is subjectional since there are so few, but $2,500 sounds steep. I might go $1,000 if I really wanted it, but not near that much.

I agree with Scott and Peter. I would say $400-500 for an average example - a little more for a nice one, a little less for a not-so-nice one.

$2500 is kinda crazy. I remember not too long ago someone had a blank bank common on the BST for $400.
