eBay: T206 Marquard Throwing "New York & Boston"

[Oscar_Stanage]

I am looking through all the cards I need for the 520. Is this considered part of the 520? If so, that would mean there are 4 Marquards, not 3.

No. The Marquard with red 8 on armpit is not one of the 520 needed to complete the set. As you probably know, a complete set is 524, and includes the Wagner, Plank, Magie error and Doyle NY Nat’l. However, these 4 are considered so rare and/or expensive that the hobby deems a set of 520 (without the big 4) as complete. See the PSA registry options. I am not sure why the Magie and Doyle are part of the 524, but the Marquard, as well as other oddities, is not part of a “complete set”. But nevertheless it is not. Very cool card though and worth owning in my opinion - I need one!

Thank you... this is good to hear as it is one less higher price card I need to find!

This Marquard print flaw variation is an example of it's not what you know but who you know that counts. PSA's stance has always been that they won't grade a specific card if it isn't cataloged yet they started grading these despite the fact that they weren't cataloged (and still haven't been that I'm aware of).
