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

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.

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...

As for drawing a connection between say BL460 and this back error I think it's fine its making a connection between backs within the same series of cards. I've been looking for these cards as have a handful of collectors and I can say they come up very rarely. Is it silly perhaps but interesting nonetheless. No more silly than plate scratches and lines on T206s from the printing process. Does that make them worth a certain price? Who knows? At the end of the day all of this stuff is only worth what somebody is willing to pay. In this case there were two people willing to pay over $900 for this card. So that makes these items desirable and valuable regardless of how you define them. Last edited by wonkaticket; 03-26-2015 at 03:23 PM.

I see what you're saying, John and I agree. I guess my point is that when people start talking on here about something they admire or "should be valuable", it doesn't take long before that actually happens. There are a lot of very knowledgeable and well respected people on this board and when they start talking, people listen. I have no problem if someone wanted to pay a million dollars for that card, but I see more and more of these random variations being hyped up. We both know we could probably go through our T206 collection and find a "variation" on at least half of the cards...it just waters the true variations down imo.
We all know we have a Titus hoarder among us (and I know who you are!!  ), but do you think his cards would have went up much if we didn't realize it and people started making a big deal about it? Just a few years ago he was going for around what a standard common goes for...now, he can't be had for under $200. Part of this is people are viewing his card as "tough" and they feel like they need to stash them away or sell them for a king's ransom. I never get too worked up talking about this sort of stuff, but I do like to throw out my opinion from time to time. Honestly, I think collecting some of these oddities are great, but I believe it gets to be overblown from time to time  Thanks for your take, John...always like to hear what you have to say!
