T213 prices vs rarities?

[ullmandds]

Any type 2 coupon is many multiples more rare than t206 counterpart in majority of cases. Id venture to say there are more T206 wagners than most any coupon type 2!

I only have 3, a Matty black cap run. There is a Factory 8 OP out there somehwere.

The type 2s are beautiful cards:



They used to cost far less than comparable T206s, which is why I got the Cobb. As for current value and scarcity, well, last recorded sale of a T213-2 Cobb bat off in a PSA holder I found was March 2018, and last SGC one I found was in May 2020, so that's a pretty good indicator in my way of analyzing scarcity that these are tough cards.

The only Type 1 I have left....

Coupons are more popular now, but are still valued much lower than sets like T206 AB or Cycle.

Because they used to be very cheap, I started building all 3 sets a long time ago. I'm at 67/68, 180/185, and 66/70. I've learned a lot and accumulated many cards from the members here.

That's amazing Rob you are that close on T213-1 and T213-3 sets...seems unthinkable. Any guess over how many years it has been since you started those?

Absolutely amazing. Curious which ones you are missing from each set?

Thanks

Dave and Chad, my first Coupons were from Houston card shows in the early 80's. You used to see all 3 types at motel shows around here. Now, you see almost none. Tri-Star is here this weekend, but it's too cold outside to go anywhere. I went a couple of years ago and only saw one Coupon in a case, a PSA 2 Marqurad for $500.

Here's my want-list. Thanks for asking.

Type 1 Bob Rhoades (not the most difficult card in the set, but in the top 10-15) see example from gfg (not mine)
Type 2 Baker NY (not crazy tough)
Murray CHI Nat (hard to find
Sweeney Richmond (have not seen one)
Wiltse Brooklyn port (tough)
Demmitt NY on shirt (see example, not mine)

Type 3 Cobb Red (expensive)
Griffith (tough)
Kelley (avg)
Merkle (avg)
