T-206 O'Hara/Demmitt and Drum question (revisited)

[Archive]

Posted By: Mike (18colt)

Good evening, all.

Back in late October 2003, I posted an inquiry regarding the desirability of a T-206 O'Hara or Demmitt vs. a Drum back common T-206.

Original Post: http://www.network54.com/Forum/153652/message/1067370943/

Anyway, here is my question:

If you had the choice, today (not in 2003), considering all we may have learned here on the board in the last 4 years, which would you choose, assuming that you could acquire one and only one of these, and you could not eliminate an option because you already owned one:

[a] T-206 Demmitt, St. Louis

[b] T-206 O'Hara, St. Louis

[c] T-206 common player with Drum reverse

For the purposes of this question, all cards are in the same condition (all raw or all graded by the same company in the same grade), same eye appeal, etc., only thing being different being the person on the front and the brand on the reverse. In fact, let's say that they'd all be in beater condition raw or "A" from SGC/PSA or even a PSA 1/SGC 10 (assume the PSA 1 would cross to an SGC 10, meaning the "Fair-Poor" grade is in the "Poor" range and not the "Fair" range).

Also curious if we think the counts considered in the original post by those who responded are still accurate today.

Thanks in advance.

Disclaimer: I am not selling or looking to buy these cards at this time. In 2003, at the time of my post, I was almost able to make a trade whereby I could acquire one of the 3 options above in exchange for one of the other 3 options above. The trade fell through, and one of those 3 options is still missing from my collection of T-206s today.
