How many copies of T206 exist today?

[MonstersetCollector]

The title says it all. I know that the Wagner only has 50-60 publicly known.

However, I wonder how many Emil Batch t206 cards exist ( I feel like I see them for sale everyday!)

I’d be interested in thoughts about how many HOF vs commons vs SL exist too

Any and all educated guesses are welcome! Thanks

This is definitely not scientific but minus the big money cards like a Wagner where most people have probably had graded. My guess is double the pop report on most prewar cards and you will be close to the final population of a card.

Way more for pre-war and post war, imo.

I would say there have to be thousands of each card (not counting the back variations) in all conditions. To put it in perspective, if you guess only 500 of each card, means each Wagner is only 10 times rarer. Obviously not the case…..

I would also guess 1000s of each player. The pop reports are a complete joke and shouldn't be considered accurate for anything. I have personally owned dozens of T206s and T210s that I can trace through at least 3 different slabs. The last Red Cobb I owned I know for a fact has been in 4 different PSA slabs and each time was sent in raw.

aside from rarities i also believe there are thousands of each. 2-3000

I agree, it’s way more than double the graded pop report. It’s just too expensive and hard to get stuff graded, especially on the lower end of condition.

Its not a rare set by any means, I'd speculate there's probably 500+ each if you count the assorted backs (of course there are outliers)

I collect T205 and do not collect T206 but as I write this the PSA pop report for 1909-11 T206 White Border shows they have graded 277,084 cards...no way to tell how many of those are repeat grades, crossover attempts, etc...and obviously this does not count cards graded by other companies or raw cards held in collections...so other than the rare cards it seems to me there would likely be a few thousand of each non-rare T206 card still in play....but condition is usually the deciding factor in collectibility

Thousands of each card.

It is without a doubt THE most common set of pre-war cards until the 1933 Goudey set was produced and no other set is even close.
