t206 scrap collection ebay

[mrvster]

This is what I call as a T206 Scrap/Error collector "Dream Lot"....Where as a large, unique, Almost "one of a kind lot" appears....Almost like the "yetti".....Alot of these Scraps are what I have termed "snow flakes" as in even if you own a "duplicate" scrap (which is rare unto itself), they are all unique in their own special way.....No 2 scraps are "truly" alike and usually have some deviation than the next.....

This lot , beleive it or not, is truly "priceless"......It's tough to even put a price on them since they are so unique(Dan not to plug), imho the lot is "undervalued" in future terms....


Each one of these cards in current market conditions may bring easy 3-5 K at auction....these cards will only appreciate in the future, easy economic+

supply vs. demand...

I only see the market of these increases exponentially as the T206 GURUS catch on to the Rarity, and mostly important factor, an "X" factor if you will on T206......handle one of these gems and you'll know what i'm saying....


these cards have it all...


all I can say is WOW

this lot is truly incredible...I put it up as my wallpaper....



oh boy....I said too much

Btw...

As Clayton said, even owning one of these Scraps puts a uniqueness into any T206 collectors collection, but they bad part is they are very addicting

said to say , they are climbing out of reach

Even one of these , especially the piedy's, are "showcase" cards in any collection IMHO...

Johnny-

I agree with you, and I like the way you compare them to "snowflakes" because it's a great comparison.

I think the deeper you get into collecting T206's, you eventually start looking for cards that have something different about them, for example, slight color shifts, miscuts, diamond cuts, missing color pass, etc. After this, you start checking out scraps, blank backs, etc. . and then you begin to realize how unique and rare some of these "snowflakes" really are.

I wish I could afford these cards, as I would be giving you and Chris and Jamie some competition but for now you guys are safe

This is a dream lot for sure (for me it would be). These cards were never supposed to make it out of the ALC's dumpster. But they did. And to be here 100+ years later is a miracle !!!!!

"Snowflakes" is really a great descriptive word for these. Really brilliant. Going forward, I plan to use that term routinely in describing my autographed T206s.

For instance, I just received this Bridwell in the mail today. Technically it is a duplicate for me because I already own this T206 pose autographed by Bridwell. But there are plenty of differences between the two -- principally the inclusion of the specific date he signed this one in 1967, not to mention the different ink and different SC series. Hard to consider these guys dupes. Just like snowflakes.....

Beautiful cards !!! And I would say any and all signed T206's would definatley qualify as snowflakes (I should've added that in my other post-signed T206's). The ones that are out there right now are the only ones that will be out there ever. Another pipe dream for me

Thanks for posting those unique beauties !!!!!

Sincerely, Clayton
