Higher premium t206 back, pied 350/460 fact 42 or cycle 460??

[CMIZ5290]

Adam. I agree on availability, but on price premiums i am not so sure. I have seen some prices on cycle 460's that just blow me away, but the few pied fact 25's i have seen, not so much the case.....maybe it's just the timing.

Cycle 460 WAY overated.....inflated prices due to a few collectors trying for the sub set...btw...i collect piedy 42, if anyone is interested in parting(beaters welcome)....

2:1 ratio...piedy 42 twice as tuf inho....but now the cats outta the bag

In the past 18 months, ebay has had 58 different Cycle 460's listed and only 17 Piedmont Factory 42's of which 5 I either won or purchased. Piedmont 42's are not as popular as they were a year ago but Cycle 460's are selling for more than triple of what they were a year or so ago. The only backs with less than 17 listed on ebay over the past 18 months are:

Blank Backs (6)
Broadleaf 460 (4)
Drum (8)
Hindu Red (7)
Lenox Black (10)
Lenox Brown (1)
Old Mill Brown (1)
Uzit (10)

Ronnie when you say only 17 Piedmont 42's have been listed on Ebay in the past 18 months, do you mean listed with Factory 42 in the title? Because I've seen at least a dozen that didn't mention factory 42 in the title or description and one lot of about a dozen cards had I think 5 factory 42's.

Mike- that's a great point, and i noticed it too....

I am woefully out of touch with pricing. What's a vg factory 42 'common' going for lately?

I probably catch 99% if its in the title and if its not listed in the title and I see a card sell for alot more than it should of, I look further into the listing. When I first started my list, I would look at every auction and with so many T206 listings, it was starting to turn into a full time job. Mostly all listings of uncommon backs are usually listed in the title with the exception of the Piedmont 42s. Maybe not everyone understands their rarity. I've picked up a couple for under $50 just because it wasn't listed in the title. My numbers I list are not 100% acurate but 99% based on the titles. I use my list mainly to see what a card has sold for in the past and how the price moves up or down.
