I suspect the this has something to do with today's date. Good one....now who is the perpatrator?

So rather than buy a scanner I decided to go to my local print shop tonight and make three scans. I don't know if these will turn out fuzzy when posting but at least it gives you an idea on this particular card in regards to the double strike and color shift. These scans do not show how misaligned the entire card is. It is so cool.

You guys, please forgive me. I did not intend to make this thread a B/S/T. I now see that possibly it should have been put in B/S/T but my intentions are simply looking for good advice rather than making a sale.

I am even looking for advice whether I should send it in to be graded but then the whole world will know this T206.

No hard feelings to anyone.

Take care Charlie

The advantages of your marketing skills will one day be heralded as brilliant in graduate schools everywhere. I, for one, am going to get on the bandwagon early. In the future none of my listings will include a scan of what I am selling, as I, too, take the buyer's confidentiality very seriously.

And to be fair, if you want to sell me a card, just name your price. I don't need to know who it is or what issue it is from or the condition. If I like your price, I will simply pay. One cannot dicker without a frame of reference and I won't even try.

I am also working on a new form of payment called Ethereal Pay Pal. Funds in my EPP account are light and airy. They are not tied to a real bank account. Reconciliation of your account is unnecessary, because your account is guaranteed. If I can get Amazon to sign on to EPP, I think it will take off.

To the respected gentleman from Northern Wisconsin. I cannot name a price here because this is not the B/S/T.

I am though, looking for your many collective years of wisdom as to how I should handle this card and this group of cards out of the same filing cabinet collection that has been in the dark for 40+ years.

Many kind people have commented in this thread regarding the contents within but I am still looking for advice.

I am at a critical dilemma. I firmly believe not to plaster scans of this card all over the worldwide web. I also believe in not attaching it to any emails. It must be kept in complete confidentiality for the future buyers sake. He may have and may want every single T206 in his collection to be a pre-internet virgin. Do you get what I am trying to say or convey here?

Now let's talk about pricing. No price will be mentioned here but I will use two examples to make my point.

Let's assume that you think that I have some wisdom about T206 and their values. Let's also assume that I am not conscienceless (unscrupulous). I know, they always say to never assume but in this example; let's assume.

I first pose this question: What would today's value of an undiscovered T206 be worth? I am not saying whether this is or is not an undiscovered T206. Let's say that his last name, team and league designation appear on the T206.

Are we talking 2 mil, 1 mil, half a mil, 100k etc? If I told you that I wanted 1 mil for it, would you then assume that it is an unknown T206 just discovered? Keep in mind that I am unscrupulous (meaning not out to take advantage of anyone at any cost).

If I asked $8k for it, would you then assume that it is a T206 that is known already?

Do you believe that we are the only life-forms that exist? If your answer to this particular question is almost certainly No; then you must believe that there are more T206; there has to be!

I understand your quest for complete secrecy. I have a few of the clear transparent cellulous T206's that are also unknown to the collecting community. Good luck with the sale/quest for offers or what ever it is you are doing.

Be careful whom you call respected. I hope you can back that up.

Anyone that has satisfied over 190 Board members has got to be respected.

I also have not come across a doctor in my life so far which I have not respected.

Respectfully yours,
