Was this a good deal?

[freakhappy]

I'm no back expert, but IMO you got a good deal...very tough back. At the very least I would say you definitely didn't lose out.

Congrats on your 100th post, but, alas, I was not the winner .

Just curious what this would bring if the seller actually posted Pied 42....

[t206fix]

On a side note, here is another card that I wonder about...

Who'd pay $260 for a cut out Cobb...

Thanks, man!

It's always tough to tell on some of these front-end tough backs. You don't see them for sale much and the condition of this one is kinda rough, but the player and back carries a lot of weight here. I feel like it's closer to 1k, if not a little more...but again, this is just my opinion since I've never seen one sell before for this particular card. I wonder if because the back wasn't headlined, it received less attention. It seems like this sort of thing is common for Piedy 42's because some people aren't educated on them and it looks like a regular Piedmont back.

About the Cobb...here is another one that is almost half gone that just sold on eBay for around the same price. http://www.ebay.com/itm/T206-Piedmon...item5405a26e50

It's amazing that someone would pay that much for a Cobb that is so shellacked, but I guess there is a market for it.

Ha - or the fact that half of his head is gone! I guess I would need at least 97% of the card there before I shell out that kind of money. But as I type this, I ponder, would I pay $290 for a Cracker Jack Joe Jackson in that condition just to be in the game... probably. No, definitely!

I was thinking that a P42 common goes for that... Cy Young- $2K-$3K... but like I said, I need the experts to weigh in on this because I don't know.

A CJ Jackson is a whole different ball game. Some PSA fully intact Cobb's barely go for $500 sometimes....a Jackson in the same condition is at least 10x that! I would no doubt take a Jackson shellacked in a heartbeat for that price...that's a steal!

On the Young...I don't think it goes over 2k in this condition, but it depends how rare the combo is too. In reality all it takes is for two people to need/want this card and it could end up being a 5k+ card...so to put an actual "going price" on this card is almost impossible.

Good point - it gets me to thinking... how much of CJ Joe Jackson would pay $290 for??? Let's say that SGC/PSA slabbed a Joe Jackson that was barely there... maybe the bottom of the card with his name. But they verified that at some point, it was Shoeless. You've probably seen that guy that posts on here with his mangled t206 Waddell, but at some point, wouldn't "not enough" of the card be not enough.

Check this out...$300 for just the back of a Jackie Robinson RC!

I would put it's value at well over $1,000. A Cy Young with a Pied 42 is a very valuable card, even in fair condition.

+1 I think it was definitely a good deal!! An awesome card to have for sure.

Agreed. I was the high bidder until the last 8 seconds and then got caught just above my high bid. I should have gone higher. Definitely a $1K card IMHO.

Glad I checked out the thread - I was actually the high bidder, and received the card this week and was quite happy with it!

I figured it was at least a $1,000+ card, and my snipe was a bit under that. I figured it sold only for $695 since it wasn't advertised as a Factory 42.

So I hope that you're all right about it being a good deal - hopefully others will agree if/when I ever go to sell it!

I am relatively new to the whole T card thing.
I know the different advertising backs, so what is the "rareness" of this back.
Is it the factory#? If so, what is "common" and what is "rare".

Thanks for the time and patience with a newbie.

Factory number 42 piedmont backs are quite rare and carry a significant premium. No other factory number for Piedmont carries a premium.
