T206 sov 460 super print question

[mrvster]

Scott,
btw...u won the ab johnson???i think u caught the bug

...cause i have been chasing ab 350 no frames lately


I too was collecting t206 for a while and not caring too much about the backs either...i was into the rare errors/scraps( btw-which i still am- and mac's marquard on the bay is sweet, printer laid down red instead of blue, gave marquard a tan and an orange background!!!) and let rare backs slip by like all of us for $20 a card .......



ironically can't find too many scraps around the last few years...so, loving the set, i turned my focus to the rarer backs myself(and Hank L. i used to say who cares about the backs to you)...this is where the monster got even more interesting....


the rarirties are really not plank...magie...wag(relatively speaking, and don't get me wrong would love one if i could afford it)....try a brown old mill, some ghosted chance back, bender over print fronts, broadleaf 460, cassidy missing color scrap blank back, brown lenox, where only one or 2 known examples exist for each pose or player, brown lenox, they are fun and expensive, the bottom line undisputed RARE , TRULY DEFINITION OF RARE......

something fun was finding the rarer back combo to fronts....chasing pristine cards to me just gets way too expensive( gem common for 10 k when i could score a brown om???)......so collecting tougher sub sets and seeing if certain cards exists becomes fun and very challenging to the most advanced what i call t206 "experts"......the info is priceless and knowledge just sheds even more light on to this very interesting and complex set....we discover new info everyday and learn more and more every single day, and never know every secret...


info needs to be shared and correct to be relevant, it will help all of us understand this set, and corney enough, sometimes each other...


Tim and Jim have been studying these backs/set for many years like other hobby veterans....Art m. John M.(wonka), Craig W, Brian W., Dan m, Jantz, Mike H., Johnny D ....i hate even starting to mention any names cause there really are just so so many true veterans/experts on this set i really wouldn't want to leave anyone out.......


In all due respect T-rex, you really sound like a great guy, an intelligent guy, i actually read your info and bought mr chance cause of the rarity of the super print...i love that pic of u w/ Wonks.....we need your knowledge and intel on this set like anyone else....you prob know more than me about the set me im sure, you had a set before i even thought about collecting it, but guys like tim and jim are true experts(we don't need resumes).....listen to weisner or art if you ever want to get schooled on the set, or dan and wonks also.....they are prob the top 6 guys on this set...imo......they just have the time and cards to back it up, trust me on this one....but no one really is out to get you....
i am not going to verbally beat you up, i like you
ted, jim gets upset, thats all.....tits up a stand up guy i would put my rep on the line for jim r, he is a tru friend to me and not only a collector....i don't know tim, but his absolute knowledge supercedes any exchanging conversation i have never had w him....

we need one thing of you....

an open mind.....
(i'm not accussing you of any of this btw)

alleged:

if you were wrong about a card or two in the set, who cares anymore..

if the nicholls didn't exist, just fess up and blame it on the monster, look what chan did, your no where close to being that messed up, but the set does strange things to collectors i forgive you ....give us some of your wisdom

if you embelished and said u had a set together ab 460 which i love you could teach me a thing or two about it, then sold it....who cares anymore...i forgive you, ps would've liked a few cards myself

i am no where an expert on this set(except for the freaks i am self proclaimingLOL because i am one), just a lover of the t206 cards and people/collectors in general....

keep the faith y'all.....because i need all of y'alls knowledge when it comes to this set...we just want to advance the set

i want to thank all the collectors who i spend countless hours boring them on the horn who have given me a wealth of knowledge on this set



PHEW!!!!

glad i got that off my chest


Peace
