T206 prices by back, what's hot? What's not?

I think factory 25 in all Sweet Cap series tend to be tougher than other factories.

Regarding Piedmont Factory 42 and Heritage, their catalogue says that the Tinker Bat off fact 42 is the only one known. Not true. I have the other “only one known” (thanks Adam from years ago)

A few of those rankings need an update. Sov460 shpuld be at the bottom and Cycle 460 needs to move up a bit.

Nice Tinker P460-42. It's in a lot better shape than the Hall one.

I wonder if T206Resource is still being updated. Off the top of my head, I'd much rather have a Cycle 460 than a Sov 460, although I collect both.

Here are 2 new Tolstoi's for my Sweeney and Mitchell back runs...Tolstoi are selling well I think...

Have to agree with what's being said. Cycle's (especially 460's) are gaining in value. I've been able to pick up a couple Tolstoi's recently. At first I didn't care for them as much because they were so similar to Piedmont, but they have grown on me over time. I see Pied 42's lagging, but they are tough to find. Might be a little undervalued.

It's a small but aggressive pool of buyers on the rare backs. The impact of 3-5 motivated buyers cannot be understated.

I agree with Luke's thoughts that the "standard" back rankings list is way off.

Piedmont 42 is a great back but doesn't drive a ton of interest because the back still says Piedmont. But you really don't see too many of them.

I noticed once I started picking up American Beauty backs a few years ago that they jumped in price as well.

In my opinion, Pied 42's and Carolina Brights are hands down two of the toughest backs to find in mid to high grade (5's and higher). I have had Tolstoi, Cycle 460's, AB's, and even an Uzit in grades of 7 and higher, but not these two... I may be wrong, but I dont think I have ever seen either one of these backs in a PSA 7 or higher... If I'm wrong, there can't be too many of them....I did see a couple of SGC 84's from some "find" a few years ago where all of the cards were incredibly over graded...
