T206 HOF tiers

[Throttlesteer]

McGraw gets little love when it comes to demand. His cards seem to fall on the lowest tier on average.

Where are you getting your data?? Also, Frank Chance portrait cards in PSA 6 (Red)recently sold for $1825, and yellow portrait in $1600....These cards blow Zach Wheat out of the water.. Lajoie should definitely be higher than Eddie Collins.....Finally, Mathewson needs to be higher in your so called tiers.....HOW long have you been following T206s????

I will reference the original post again " Let's look at it from the standpoint of players (not poses/variations)"

Anson,
How do you look at it from just the standpoint of players (no poses or variations)with T206s? Poses and variations are a huge part of T206s....If you eliminate these, then what is the criteria exactly?

Yes they are. But, they don't necessarily represent the popularity of collecting a specific player or their accomplishments ranked against their peers. Tinker, Chase, and Chance simply aren't viewed at the same level as the players mentioned in the first few tiers. Sure, portrait poses and variations will spark interest.

If we want to look at specific cards from each player, your point makes a lot of sense. The Lajoie vs. Collins debate is no different than the Speaker vs. Wagner debate. One is certainly more popular than the other. Their performance was much closer than their popularity.
