T206 Price Opinions.....Elite 12 Question...

Well, if you look back at the latest REA auction and you see that OM Waddell Portrait sold for $8K in similar condition with a combined pop report of 12, you got a great deal on the Chesbro. A lesser quality OM Dahlen Brooklyn just ended on EBay for a little over $1,000.00.

I think you can safely say it was a fair price to pay for the Chesbro. It's a beaut!

Do you think the big premiums being paid for Old Mill will sustain? For the right cards they seem to be a higher multiple than historically. Are the pops proving it to be more scarce than thought? Or really depends on the card? What about for Southern Leaguers? They seem to be more easily found in Old Mill, especially judging from my collection.

There was a good thread around this topic last August, with some links to some other great sites that talk about the group of scarce Old Mill subjects:

Hope that links works.

Wish that I knew of the "Elites" back when I sold this beauty (lol) a few years ago. Don't even remember what I got for it. I do know, that when I originally bought it; back in the late 90's/early 2000's, I sprung for around $30. Phew!

Carl Lundgren (Chicago) is a unique T206 card. Besides Wagner, Lundgren is the only Major League (MLB) subject printed with just 3 backs.
My 4th card displayed here is a color printing error (missing the blue ink pass).

.

I have been collecting T206's for 40+ years, and I can attest to the fact that this Lundgren's EPDG and PIEDMONT 350 cards are very tough to find.

Several years ago, at the Cleveland National, I sold a PIEDMONT 350 version (VgEx) for 1700. So, I am not surprised at the high value he is selling
for nowadays.
American Lithographic stopped printing the EPDG and PIEDMONT 350 versions circa late 1909 after Lundgren's MLB retirement on April 23, 1909.
His 8-year career was pretty good.....W - L = 91 - 55, with an ERA = 2.42.

Lundgren is a good example of why you can't date the distribution by the teams the players are depicted on in the T206's.

Lundgren was long gone from Chicago when his Cubs T206's were distributed.

He Played in his last game with Chicago on April 23 1909 and shortly after that game manager Frank Chance and owner Charles Murphy were trying to get rid of Lundgren on waivers.

In April or May 1909 he was sold to Brooklyn but never played with them and in the end of May he was sent to Toronto who he also never played for in 1909. Then in June he went to Kansas City who again he didn't play for.

In July of 1910 he ended up back with Toronto and this time he did play in 10 games for them. He was then sent to Hartford in August who he also played in 10 games for.

So on his two T206's cards he's depicted on a team that he was no longer playing with on his Cubs cards and a team he never played with on his Kansas City cards.
