I have like 10 of the brown old mills. I have not seen the other 4 and if the 10 I have, I know about half have a twin.

Yea, I have started some really stupid, expensive and nearly impossible projects. This is one of them.

There are quite a few rare T206's that were cracked out and resubmitted among SGC, PSA and BVG. This includes BL460, Drum, Uzit especially. I've owned a few of those and saw how they were resubmitted by someone year ago hoping for higher grades. So the TPG count is somewhat overstated on those IMO.

There are lots of them for sure from the rare backs all the way up to the common backs.

Sometimes they come back the same grade even though they were cleaned up a little.

Would this kind of cleaning consider as alteration? I remember there's a Ty Cobb back has a "TJ" ink mark, I wonder the new owner of the card ever "clean" up that TJ mark.

I think I like the dirty version

and the list at top looks good to me though I don't specifically collect T206
