Looks much better Ted but after owning 3 Lenox and never seeing a red hindu or Uzit, I still have to beef with you a little. But just a little since you weren't feeling well last time I saw you. I felt bad for you old friend.

So what do you guys think of my Lenox? I know the scan is not to big but I think you can see pretty good. Rob

Red Hindu
Uzit
Lenox

Wow, I thought that this card would of sold for a lot higher than what it realized. I am a bit shocked by the price.

So what do you think mine would go for? Rob

Was the underbidder ... looked like if I didn't push it that the card could have only sold for about 1k. Curious to see who ended up with it.

Regards,
Scott

Believe it or not, the holder scared me from bidding on this card any higher.

Scott, no it wouldn't have. I know of one snipe in the $1,700 range that obviously didn't register because it was lower than your and the eventual winner's bids, which registered with 7 seconds to go.

I chose not to bid, but if I had it would have been in the $2500 range... so good deal to you! See if you can get it crossed over to PSA because if you can, it might up the value considerably.

Hi Robert,
I'm 99.9% sure that your card has been re-backed... Do you remember where you got it? I'll check my scans tonight and see if I've seen this card before... Be well Brian

I won this card in a Phillip Weiss auction a few years ago on Ebay. Rob

I don't know about this card being rebacked. When i won this card I did not know it was a Lenox back, nowhere in the auction did it state that it was a Lenox. I was looking for a red Cobb and it did not matter to me what back it had. I think I paid somewhere between 700 to 800 for the card. When I went to pick it up, because I live in LI, NY where Phillip Weiss is located thats when I found out it had a Lenox back. Rob

Philip Weiss knows a lot of stuff about a lot of stuff, but when it comes to knowing about the scarcity of T206 backs that doesn't fall within his scope of knowledge. It doesn't surprise me that you can find a diamond in the rough in one of his auctions. Robert if I were you I'd send it in to SGC.

I went to the site and since I do not usually have my cards graded I am a little confused. In the first place what is this about a min value of 250 dollars for a card to be submitted? I just want to know how much it would cost me to have it graded and how to go about it. I am not a fan of grading companies and have never have one graded. And really I have seen and read about fake cards being graded and I have seen cards that should not have been graded but have been. So it is only one human being's opinion about the card. Rob

Robert-

You can call customer service and they can help you out. Although, if your not gonna sell it..sounds like you don't need to get it graded if your not a fan of that anyway. If you are going to sell, I would think you'd be better advised to have it slabbed by one of the companies anyway.

I was thinking he should send it to SGC for peace of mind. Find out if the card has been rebacked. Or take it to the next big show and ask a few of the dealers like Ted Z.

Have you guys looked close at the one on ebay. The front looks like it has a tear and creases but the back looks fine. Looking for opinions. Rob
