T206 ed walsh blue old mill sgc 30!

[Bicem]

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

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.

I'm still not sure how SGC could grade this being the only example known. I mean, what are they comparing it to? Especially when there are reprints with blue OM backs WITH factory #'s, and they don't say reprint.....in a recent thread there was a scan of a red OM back, factory# and didn't say reprint.

I don't know, I didn't see it in person, and am skeptical by nature-but I'd have to pass on it as well. More power to whoever buys it, let the force be with you

By the way-if it's not PB blue, what T206 blue would you compare this with? Piedmont? Uzit?

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.

This card still blows my mind. The front looks fake...flip it over, and you have a blue background...and that convinces people that it's real? A fake looking front and a previously unknown back? And people are talking 30K on it? I think this is the moment when the cool printing freak collectors officially go insane.

If you did a simple test of the text on the front...say take text from 50-100 t206's...and mix a couple good fakes in there...like the reback/fronted impossible combinations...and most skeptical collectors rank this card as the most likely to be fake. That's based on the front...and now how does a blue back make you feel? Better?

I also dislike the 'shade' variations...red to orange (except for the t210's), black to brown...etc. So yeah, a legit blue wouldn't impress me much. But if it were candy apple green, then I'd give 10K ;-) (patiently waiting for one to appear...I'll give it a month before one is "discovered")

A lot of us got a close look at it at the National and I didn't hear one person say it wasn't legitimate. As far as the mania over back collecting, I'm with you.

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.
