T206 vs. M116 value comparison ?

[Archive]

Posted By: steve

How do prices stack up when comparing T206's to M116's for mid to high grade HOFers? Perhaps 10% less, or 10% more, or the same? Or more like 20% ?

Examples:
1. T206 Cobb red PSA 5 vs. M116 Cobb pastel PSA 5
2. T206 Cobb red PSA 7 vs. M116 Cobb pastel PSA 7
3. T206 Matty dk PSA 7 vs. M116 Matty pastel PSA 7
4. T206 W.Johnson portrait PSA 5 vs. M116 W.Johnson PSA 5

Thanks for your thoughts, Steve

In general, M116s are much much rarer, but cheaper.

Actually i would call the M116 cards "Scarcer" not rarer than the T206 cards. I love the set but there are only 2 real RARE cards in the M116, the 2 team change cards.


Edited to add: In the M116 set, there are a bunch of players that have very low population compared to the AMBY MCCONNELL,GEORGE MCQUILLAN but collectors seem to really want these 2 that have the team change on them.

1. T206 Cobb red PSA 5 vs. M116 Cobb pastel PSA 5
2. T206 Cobb red PSA 7 vs. M116 Cobb pastel PSA 7

Cobb T206 50% greater value in both grades?

3. T206 Matty dk PSA 7 vs. M116 Matty pastel PSA 7

Matty about the same for both

4. T206 W.Johnson portrait PSA 5 vs. M116 W.Johnson PSA 5

Johnson T206 30% greater value?


"I love the set but there are only 2 real RARE cards in the M116"

McConnell and McQuillan cards?

Mark, what's the difference in meaning between scarce (scarcer) and rare (rarer)? I thought they meant the same. Well, maybe not always the same, I would never order a medium-scarce steak

Well, i am sure we have debated this many times before but all it takes is a quick Google search of both words and it says it all.

That's some good data....I like that your sample has 5 specimens in each category because I think there are cards that sell for more, or less, in a given grade, due to their own characteristics....while they have the same grade by a third party...Also there are cards that will sell for more than their technnical grade...This Matty presents almost as nice as the Clarke and is several grades lower due to a surface wrinkle. I think it would sell for more than a 3 if it were in auction (the Clarke could be a half grade high but I don't really care). It's all about supply and demand........regards

there at least 2 more team variations much rarer than McConnell or McQuillan. Bates and Seymour

I've never even heard of a team variation for those two. They must be ultra rare.
