Has everyone gone mad?

You hear that?

The sound of 1,000's of T206 collectors rushing to their safes to see if their Polar Bears have this print defect.

I've got a felt tip marker capable of creating countless quantities of these variations.

Although it is interesting, to me, that the "error" was not mentioned in title or description. So that means there are a number of collectors who must check every PB auction.

The buyer listed the card this morning with a BIN of $4999.99 but the auction ended shortly afterwards.

He/She also has this...http://www.ebay.com/itm/1909-T206-To...item1c4d9be7fd

I'm really hard-pressed to call that a variation. I have an UD card with a gold foil logo missing the gold (indentation is there, just no gold). I don't consider that a variation as much as I do a basic problem with the ink.

They are both Dan's cards a veteran collector and board member, He knows
exactly what he has.

I know Dan and respect his knowledge of cards, but I still can't believe that this is a valuable error card.

It only takes a few people to hype this sort of thing up and then the prices start to go crazy.

One thing we need to get away from is trying to advertise a card as valuable because "it's as rare as a BL 460, etc.," I could list thousands of cards that are rarer than a BL 460, Drum and such that aren't remotely close in price. A printing error is a printing error and just because part of the "L" is cut off, it shouldn't inflate the price 100x. That being said, to each their own...
