I have always wondered what it was really worth, as all I ever see are those museum prices on e-bay. I know it isn't a $750-1200 card, but what would be a fair estimate? Anyone care to give a swag?

there is a fair amount of pricing history for t213-3's out there. really depends a lot on who the player is and how badly someone wants it???? But it seems type 3's in nice shape(vgish) are selling in the 4-500 range for commons...with OP's selling 25% or so higher.

I would say OP's sell for at least 50% higher and often more.

well using your estimates for regular type 3's...I'd agree.

Personally...I have not seen type 3's for sale under 200 each in my memory?

It looked like Ed was talking about a PSA 2 card, maybe you are talking about PSA 3 cards (VG)? ~ could account for our price discrepancy.

What grade are you referring to for not selling under $200?

well honestly i'm not a very grade sensitive collector!!!!! esp regarding an issue as rare as t213-3...if its presentable and intact...it's good for my collection!!!! There have been a load of very low grade t213-3's on ebay for a few years now with very high bin's...one or two of which I have acquired over the years...for closer to $400 each.

Thanks for the answers, guys. I really am just wondering, like I said, I bought the card at type 2 costs, and I know type 3s go for more, so I was just trying to figure out, well really, how good a deal I got. Sometimes I need to pat myself on the back, even though for every good deal I get, I have many more over-paying deals. Thanks again for the thoughts.

While we are it, have shown this before, but here is the only known double overprint...scan is a bit blurry but you get the drift ~ o/p strike in middle of card is actually clear on the card, my scanning skills are not great.
