T206 Common Prices

[parkplace33]

Talked to a friend yesterday about the increase of T206 prices, even commons. So I checked Ebay last night. The lowest price common card T206 (not reprint) buy it now was a card with holes for $25 plus shipping.

Any chance these commons come down in price? I remember when they used to be around 10 dollars or so.

I'm guessing they won't.

When I first started, VG commons were about 1.50. Then 3, then 10 then 20 then 40. Now they seem to be pushing 100. There have been times when they seemed to move slower at those prices, but didn't really come back down.

Yes. I picked up a lot of them at $1.00 each in lower grade. and as much as $4.00 in better grade....all commons and backs did not matter. I picked up all the lesser common backs when I could including Lenox, Broadleaf and others.

I've been collecting T206 for 30 years...I've never known them to go down in value, only up.

Yea, but Mike, wait until all the old people die. Values will plummet bc all the new collectors have never seen anyone play who is pictured on a t206 card.

T206 are cardboard gold.

Nah, stamp a serial number on them and pack them in cases for people to break and they'll go nuts.

That's a good one Ryan, especially since for anyone still alive today to have actually been around and remember seeing someone on a T206 card play, they'd only have to be at least what, about 110 years old, or even older? LOL

Truth be told, if we did start to see a huge drop-off in something like T206 prices, I think that would be indicative of much, much bigger problems and issues with our economy and life as we know it, or that possibly baseball somehow ceases to be a sport as we know it.

Yeap, don't see them going down in value. And it looks like commons with semi scarce backs are making a big run up...
