How rare are M101-6s

[paul]

The recent pick up thread shows an M101-6 Heilmann that I've never seen before. I know Kevin Savage auctioned off a group of these a few years ago that included some previously uncatalogued cards like Sam Crawford. With new cards still turning up, and few ever offered for sale, I'm wondering how rare these things really are. For most of the cards are there only a few known?

I would say quite rare, I have seen a couple of Babe Ruths as that is the most popular one in the set..........

I collect these and in a good year I pick up 1 or 2.

I dont know how rare they are , but I have only ever seen a few examples for sale or auction. The Heilmann is the only one I own, but what drew me to it wasn't the issue perse, but the clarity of the image.

The thing that initially attracted me to them was that many of the players' images are unique to the set.

I agree with you about the images being unique. So many of the players images from the T206 set are the same poses in other sets. All of the pictures that I have seen tend to be photos that they haven't recycled over and over again for different issues. I also like the size as well....not a normal size card, but the size of a T3 either.
