T206 Magie/Magee Portrait Complete Back Run

[Sean]

Tony, I hope you don't lose interest in T206, because there is enough to keep you busy collecting for years.

I believe there are only 2 Magee portrait Old Mill backs. I have an SGC 40 that I purchased in a Goodwin auction early last year and the second is the one currently offered. Up until 2.5 years ago the combined SGC and PSA population reports reflected zero population of that front back combination so it would be very unusual for 4 actual cards to be discovered in that short time period when previously there had not been any known. Relative to the claim that the current offering is the only known example I notified Bill Goodwin of my purchasing an OM from him a year and a half ago and he has removed that "only example known" statement from the description in his live auction detail.

The SGC pop report shows a 40 (yours), a 35 (the one at auction) and two As...

Regardless. Kind of messed up that Goodwin, known for t206 and sellers of a prior Magee Port OM, lists the current one as the only known example. The current bid on that card is high, and I wonder how much of that is the result of that incorrect claim? All that said, I may be a buyer.....

Here are a couple of PSA examples.

Holy smokes Pat nice!!!!!

Real nice! And the PSA pop report doesn't even show old mill as an option, let alone list any graded examples. I think the conclusion is that the Magee OM is quite rare, but hardly one-of-a-kind (graded) as (once) touted by Goodwin.

Yup I agree, in my 6 years of watching virtually every major and lesser auction and every t206 on sale on ebay the 2 goodwin cards are the only 2 I have seen for sale. I have been looking for an Elberfeld NY om and have been unable to find one.
