I don't think it's a waste of time, people who know about the set are giving you real answers. I too think it's probably around 50 K. I think that's a crazy number, and a realistic number at the same time.

I can't see paying $40-50K for the card. Once you are talking that much money, you're competing against some other really nice choices. I know that I'd rather be able to say that I owned a $50K T206 Plank than a $50K T206 Old Mill Blue back.

I'd put the over/under at $25k.

[sportscardpete]

Over 25k. Not sure if you were hoping to hear of something like less than 5k, but I think that card is worth over 25k.

alot of great answers so far......another found would legitimize it possibly....i don't feel this is a 50 k plus card......i find brown om much more appealing , since brown om are actual printers scrap....if this was a hand cut card, i would put it at 25 k or better......if blue om were comparable to brown om and other examples were found, especially hand cut as if off a sheet the printer was experimenting with ink, then the skys the limit...


but, that is not the case with this card...

i put it at 5k-10k purely as a curiousity




.....why has it been held a secret for this long????????????

i'm not feeling this one ....through my ignorance with it... please forgive me, and in all due respect....it just doesn't" do it for me".....

only one man 's opinion, and you know what they say about those


Kevin, wish you all the luck with this card...i dont know the seller but wish him luck also....




Please let us know what the hammer is!! don't hold out

I could not rationalize it going above the cost of a Plank in similar grade, which is 30 K or so? I am sure someone else might point that it is less numerous. i would say it is less significant in my eyes, but both are pretty cool.

A sgc30 plank value is arround 30 to 40 k yes. But i think it is more near 40 . 30k for a sgc30 is a great deal.

$20k-$50k? Give me a break. I wouldn't give you $50 for it.

Value is in the eye of the beholder, though. The guy that might possibly spend 30-50 K on this card probably already has a Plank, but I personally can't rationalize spending more then a couple grand on the card. I was guessing much higher because I'm sure, at the national, the seller already received offers between 5 and 10 K and didn't take any of them.

I can guarantee an offer was made at nationals for 30k+ cash. They are a board member also. If they want to make it know that's up to them. So Kevin if your thinking below that I'm not sure. You never know though. Good luck on the deal.

Maybe I missed this in a previous thread. But if an original regular Old Mill T206 card was placed directly in the hot sun, back side up for a long period does the black ink turn blue from the UV? I know black ballpoint kinda fades to a dark purple after a while. How about setting it under some sort of artificial light for a very long period of time? Just some crazy thoughts...considering sunlight will fade the paint right off an automobile.
