I'm no expert either so I can't speak to value, but based on this excellent resource site (http://t206resource.com/), the BL 460 is #4 on the scarcity list for T206 backs (#3 if you don't count Ty Cobb back).

Searching through previous auction results through google for broad leaf 460 T206s, you'll get an idea that even a common can go for some good coin. For example here's a Kid Elberfeld PSA 1 from REA with a write up to shed some light on the difficulty.

Incredible find. Cool to see that this stuff is still out there, sometimes even hiding in plain sight!

I was the writer for this auction lot and am thrilled for your find! There was no way to determine the backs so this was definitely a shot in the dark that worked.

Congrats €r!©k! I have always wanted to try a lot like that, and briefly considered the one you bought, but I never end up pulling the trigger.

Outstanding pick-up. Congratulations.

Congrats. This is the second BL460 find on Net54 in the last year. I think the other was hidden on an old wooden trunk lid. What are the odds?
