Default Thanks!
Thanks guys. I'm excited to be back after being away for awhile. I had a few members contact me recently which peaked my interest and got me looking at auctions again. I'm certainly glad they reached out!

Erick,

Who rescued you from Leon’s back yard?

Not being a back collector or even being sure what soaking entails, I'm guessing that this 'poster' had cards on each side covering any backs and each card would have to be 'soaked' in order to remove it and to discover the back.

If that's a correct assumption on my part, then how did Erick know they were Factory 460's prior to purchasing and soaking them?

Again, please forgive my ignorance in this field.

The article contained a good explanation (for me anyway) by Erick as to why he pursues T206 backs. So, if I gain nothing else from this thread, there is that...and thanks.

I didn't know... I simply hit the lottery. I was simply curious and took a chance.

Congrats Erick,


I’m not a back collector so how hard is that back and curious what value ballpark did you unearth. Great story and congrats!

I'm no expert either so I can't speak to value, but based on this excellent resource site (http://t206resource.com/), the BL 460 is #4 on the scarcity list for T206 backs (#3 if you don't count Ty Cobb back).

http://t206resource.com/Back%20Rankings%20List.html

Searching through previous auction results through google for broad leaf 460 T206s, you'll get an idea that even a common can go for some good coin. For example here's a Kid Elberfeld PSA 1 from REA with a write up to shed some light on the difficulty.
