Bring about $10,000 to the National and I'll give you a great deal on two T206 error cards.

I could be wrong, but it seems like most of the 206 freaks that come up for auction, end up in the pick-up thread. All rare cards have a thin market. What's interesting to me is that most of the market for these freaks seem to be board members that aren't particularly private with what they are buying. They all seem to be friends, and I'm sure they bid each other up! The freaks are an interesting anomaly, and the group of collectors after them are interesting too!

I don't personally see it, but maybe these printing error cards are just beginning to reach their potential (in terms of dollar value).
Such "freaks" are even more coveted in stamp and coin collecting, with a far greater premium paid for most examples. Here's one of the more famous ones... http://scoop.diamondgalleries.com/Ho...rticleID=50832 Perhaps Baseball Error Cards are finally starting build some steam and catch up? I believe that these anomalies will become more valuable/desirable with each year that passes (and may not always be so thinly traded). Last edited by perezfan; 05-30-2013 at 07:44 PM. |

I guess it's just part of the evolution of the hobby?! I mean why are collectibles...collectible? Because most were discarded...played with...used and abused?! These freaks and miscues should have been thrown away...but weren't...so while this stuff was viewed in the past as the garbage it was intended to be...it survived...so now it is very collectible.
Def not my cup of tea...but it is what it is!!! |

If I couldn't resell it, I wouldn't. I think the value is principally social, largely driven by this forum and people talking each other up. Just my .02

I can follow y'all to a degree, of course. But I'd pay well over $1,000 for a signed E92 or E95 of anyone. Heck, I love my signed T201 collection.
It's parallel, but not the same thing.

Errors & pre-production ( scraps, tests, prototypes ) generally carry a hefty premium in most mass-produced collectible fields - stamps, coins, records, toys, books, etc. Why not cards?
Errors, tests and prototypes (proofs) have long carried a premium. I thinks it's a natural evolution that scraps would follow. |

Well....
I got halfway through this thread and couldn't read anymore....
I will put my reputation on the line here... A card of such magnitude would bring 15 K plus in REA with more than 12 bidders at least....maybe 20 bidders... I could care less what Scott, Peter, or any other hater would say.... Scott, your just pissed off you dumped them years ago for a song.....hurts, but pull up the the big boy pants and move on....

Autographs are not everyone's cup of tea, but their interest level goes beyond signed T206 cards. Printing anomolies in baseball cards spike wicked high on T206 -- why not other sets?

The word is "sexy". plain and simple, T206 cards are sexier than any other set. you can't deny this, as you are a T206 "nut" yourself...you know what i mean. can't fully explain it, but the set has mucho sex appeal.
