T213 help

[darwinbulldog]

There are well over 100 of them on eBay right now. Everything else seems rare if you compare it to T206, but T213s in general are very easy to find. There are actually 3 sets, T213-1, -2, and -3 issued with gaps of several years between them.

T213-1 is tough but still pretty affordable when they come up. There's no reason they shouldn't be considered T206s, but they aren't (by most people) and so sell for a fraction of a similarly rare card that's officially cataloged as a T206.

T213-2 is common.

T213-3 is intermediate in difficulty but closer to the T213-1 end of the scale. Unfortunately they're also ugly. To me they look like T206s that someone soaked in a cup of tea before the ink ever had a chance to dry.

thanks guys. There are some on ebay I noticed and a guy on here had some available. Just trying to learn a little bit more bout them before I over spend or something on them.

There are several good threads on this site that you can search for. Also, Lew Lipsett's book has some good info, and the Standard Catalog has some basic info.

There seems to be several people who are going after the Type 2 set. A couple of years ago I could find low grade cards for twenty bucks. Now I feel good if I can pick one up for $35 to $45.

Type 1's don't come up for sale very often, and most low grade commons will cost you $150 to $250.

Type 3 also has an overprinted card that is very tough.

Not tough as types though for specific players even with Type 2 you might have to wait a bit for one to surface.

So what's or how can you tell the difference between the series?? I'll also search around here for other t213 threads I had trouble finding that's why I'm asking now.

Top one is type 1, middle one is type 2, bottom one is type 3.

I ended up finding some stuff on old cardboard some of the photos but thanks for the quick response
