T216s, how do they stack up with their E card counterparts?

[ullmandds]

I'm not sure for all players but I do know that the Dots Miller big glove is available in t216 with 5 possible backs...all 3 kottons, mino and blank. I currently have 4 of the 5.

And how could I forget the VE back as well...that's 6!!!!

Pete, your run is a great example. And I wasn't thinking about the VE or MINO either, but I should. With Dots, which of the types were highest to get, and which were bargains, comparatively? And do you guys see the prices holding the same player to player? Say someone did a run with Speaker, would you expect the same price ratios if someone did a run with Fromme? Are there players that would be harder in the E sets than in T216, if so, which ones? Thanks.

The easiest to obtain for me was the mino...which tells you something about t216!!!!! Then the blank backs came to me...which there are 2 in existence I believe and I have both. Then one by one I acquired 2 of the kottons. This took me maybe 5-7 years btw.

I don't know if its others running me up because they know I want some of these cards...on the other hand I've had friends step aside for the sake of my run too. Point being miller is not priced at what a common would be. I've paid hofer money for a few...but never low common prices.

My advice if you are going for a run is not to tell many people!!!!!!! Try to obtain the majority before the secret is out!!!!

Were any bargains?????? The blank backs were the biggest bargains of the t216 millers I have. Right time right place.

Pete, thanks for the info. My point of the thread is really to just talk about cards. When you say you have two blank backs, do you mean two blank back T216 Miller, same pose for both? If so, that is very interesting. I've not seen two blank back T216 in the same pose before. If they are both Miller, could you show them, please?

Pete, those are so cool. The price of $.01 for the one, cut that in half for the other, but probably would take a grand or two for shipping, would be my guess.

I've owned all of the ad backs at one point or another and have a couple in my current collection. I estimate that altogether there are about 1000 T216s. Probably all fronts were printed with all backs, but I think it's very unlikely that a master set is possible, given how poorly the thin ones have survived. The vast majority of the 300 or so surviving ones are in poor (or "authentic") condition.

The rarity ordering mentioned above is correct, and the two thin paper types are usually a bargain relative to their total numbers.
