T205 back premiums

[obcbeatle]

Thanks for the replies. Andrew ... thank you for the heads up on the Cycles! Brian ... wish I could help you out on the Matty :-) And indeed I just want a few of the rarer backs just so I can say I have one :-) And thanks for the encouragement about patience! BTW ... loved your SGC T205 master set! Econ ... agreed about the amount of back research being done on T206. Pretty amazing! I do love the T206 backs. And T202 is pretty cool as well :-) Thanks again for the replies!

PS: So at this point I will be patient and not pay too much of a premium for those backs. With the understanding that they are a bit more scarce ... so your YMMV.

I have been collecting the AB backs (not really hoarding them, as I do have some duplicates but typically those came in lots). There seem to be some fluxes in pricing, at times I expect to pay a premium because I know the front/back combo is rare I put in a max bid that ends up being up to 4x - 10x what I end up paying.

As noted in my signature there are 4 more blacks and 15 more greens I need. Just finding a random one both colors will be about the same to find, but if you are looking for a specific front/back most greens are going to be harder than any particular black.

There is just absolutely no exact formula for figuring price on them. I at one time was buying up Pied 42 when I first got into collecting t205 but didn't find them interesting enough. I still have one, but sold off the rest and didn't get any premium even when advertised as P42.

I use to buy Pied 42 when I could because I had time to search lot after lot for ones flying under the radar. The same with AB, Cycle, Hass 30, Sov, but I still do not pay a bump price for anything. They are all out there if your not in a hurry.

T205 are not T206s the best thing about T205 backs is the write up and stats. We leave the crazy to T206 for the most part (with exceptions). You guys know how you are and what combo's you seek.
