Shocking prices on t206...whats new! Some steals on potentially uber tough t216 "scraps"...minos...im happy to have won the blank backed t216 crawford.

I got the Trimmed 33 Ruth. Honestly, I did a cursory market search and figured out my top. It's not a deal, but, it's not terribly over either. I'm happy.

Those were great cards. I would say 'steals', but as far as prices go, the 'scrap' quality doesn't mean much unless it's attached to a T206.

As far as Drum prices, I agree that they are surprising; however, you see how collectors talk up backs on this board, and we have a few T206 collectors who understand back rarity AND have the means to easily pay these prices.

I'll keep collecting the fronts of the cards...where the beautiful lithographs actually are.

The Drum prices are crazy...which means it might be time to sell mine! How much longer could that market actually stay that high? I'm guessing someone is going for a set and the 1 of 1 sold them on paying top dollar. While I don't have a Seymour, I do have an ungraded(but it will grade) of another card listed as a 1 in the pop report. Which means chances are someone(or multiple people) has/have an ungraded Seymour/Drum out there too.

Edited to add: All but one card in the psa Drum report, is either population 1 or 2. The oh so common Griffith batting has four examples. So basically the pop report is going to be extremely low for any of these cards. Not that it shouldn't have been obvious already. Not only are Drum backs rare, they are spread over some many different subjects and some are graded by SGC, while others aren't graded. So finding a specific PSA example is always going to be nearly impossible

I was curious about the blank backs listed as t216's. Is there any way to tell one blank back from another with the same front?

I asked the auction house about this question. They told me that SGC had some way of determining they are T216. I will need to do some more research on that. Unless the team designations or some other determiner makes them different I am not sure why they couldn't be d303 or e106 etc.... That being said none of them took off in pricing. This is that ole supply vs demand doesn't equal value equation we recently spoke about (imo). I managed to pick up 2 blank backed ones and 3 other ones. I was happy with the prices.

At least for the Chase, it could only be an E106 or T216 due to the team designation of Buffalo. I suppose either version with a blank back is equally rare, however.

I only read the auction description for one of them, but it mentioned something about them being part of a find that included only T216's.

Thanks for the info Leon (but I will unthank you if you grabbed that t216 that I couldn't stay awake for...will remain nameless to keep the peace ;-)

Hey Pete,

Great get - love Crawford cards!

I got the Kotton Matty (not blank backed) that I believe was part of Dave Levin's find a couple years ago of T216s and other LA-based cards.

Don't think I got a "steal", but I'm really happy with the card for the price! I'm 99.9% sure I bought it for a lot less than Dave wanted for it back when he had it for sale...

Cheers,
Blair

Sorry 'bout that!

If it makes you feel any better (but probaly not) I was the leader on the card for several days and going into OT. Only your bid in OT knocked me down. So I waited awhile before coming back with mine.

Cheers,
Blair

I was very surprised that the T216's didn't sell for more bucks. The unique blank banks went lower than I expected, and the Kotton backs were pretty cheap. I picked up one of the Kottons and I was very happy with the price even with the vig and the shipping added in.
