Poll: What is your opinion on the value of T206 WST (Wet Sheet Transfers)?

[mrvster]

keep the hunt going.....alot of the "thrill" is seeing one pop up somewhere....the more dramatic the wst, the more the premuim is the rule of thumb....the problem is putting a number on it

Johnny,

Thanks for weighing in here. What you say makes quite a bit of sense.

Best Regards,

Not a T206, but I just found this one. Actually have had it for years, but I never thought it amounted to much.

[mrvster]

I love your interest



Ken
The 205 is an example of a "less" dramatic wst transfer, a really nice card and neat little wst especially a color on the back....small premuim on this card if any , unfortunately....but a neat card, sorry to use your card as an example


each wst is a case by- case eval

Ken,

At first blush, I think that is one awesome baseball card. Congratulations!

I have not yet jumped into T205; however, feel that I will be doing so in the very near future.

Out of curiosity, when and where did you pick this up?

Best Regards,

Eric

Many years ago. I had forgotten all about it. I've been seeing all the misprints here and started going through my stuff to see if I had any.

Not a T206 but some wet sheet transfers can be really cool...

Ken,

Thanks for your reply. Enjoy revisiting your collection

And please let me know if you uncover any more print oddities when doing so

Best,

Eric

hopefully no one takes offense, but they have never really done anything for me. if they were actually struck or printed in error, or over-printed, that would be one thing, but simply having wet ink transferred from one wet card to another when the sheets were stacked, is not really special or desirable to me...but to each, his own.

Thanks for weighing in on this...I truly value your opinion here. This is a new world to me and these are uncharted waters, to be sure.

Any additional information from board members is greatly appreciated.

Best Regards,

Eric

I totally agree. I voted no value change. Maybe if the front of a Piedmont card had a Drum wet sheet transfer on it, then I coud see maybe an increase in price.

I like the WST's a lot, the heavier the better. Even better when it's a WST of another brand on the front than the brand on the back (although it's a bit of a mystery how that happens).

A really light WST is nice, but I like the dramatic ones better. I'd pay a slight premium I guess, depending on the card.

Sincerely, Clayton

I believe there are different types of transfers and that they effect value differently. Some, like Leon's Meusel, can add a premium, while others may add nothing.
