Premiums for rare(er) T206 Backs

Take a look at the PSA pop reports and the articles at the top of the page. As far as I understand it, having rarer backs on Hall of Famers means the multiplication factor based on back is smaller than for commons, because the cards start at a higher price point in the first place.

Another point is to worry about the "minutiae" of the factory numbers. Some are exceedingly rare and other collectors care about them and will pay a premium for them. There was a big hubbub this year on eBay when someone listed like 40 cards from the Factory 30 series, some of which went for around $200 a common. It's possible these were cut off a scrap sheet from the printer because they were not supposed to be released. There are also some interesting cases where the factory was covered up, and another factory number was added above it. Those ones are called "Overprints" and also have a value bump.

There is really only one factory-issued back where the factory number makes a big difference in the value: Piedmont 350-460 factory 42 (25 is the common back). For a rarity list I would use this:
