T206 The Elite 11

[Eggoman]

Hey Ted:

I MUCH APPRECIATE your input!

Are these prices for the Piedmont Backs or the EPDGs OR EITHER???

I think that I might know where there IS one!

I usually don't differentiate between the Piedmont 350 or the EPDG's regarding their pricing.

OH, I forgot to mention Lundgren in my previous post. I usually sell his card (Vg) for $2000 - 2500.

Contrary to the above listed Pop Report data, Lundgren is a tougher card to find. That Pop Report data regarding Lundgren
is misleading as it reflects multiple "cross-over" grading instances.

My first Lundgren (EPDG) card (displayed here) was acquired in 1984. And, I have acquired a good number of the Elite 11
Lundgren's (PD or EPDG) these past 40 years; therefore, I'm telling you how it really is.

Ted, thanks for sharing your wealth of knowledge re: the Elite 11 and T206s in general.

As always collectors should use the PSA and SGC Pop Reports as guides only...not hard, accurate, scientific data.

I noticed PSA does have a Registry entry for the Piedmont 350 Elite 12 (Elite 11 plus the lone Schulte FV) Five sets are currently registered and two sets have been retired.

Congrats on completing the P350 Elite 11 and sharing pics of your set!!
Doubtful that we see another P350 Schulte FV anytime soon...great pickup from Heritage!

A lot of people criticize the accuracy of the pop reports but they are an important tool and are actually pretty accurate if you know how to use them correctly. Us collectors are responsible for most of the inaccuracy's in the pop reports with the crack out re-submit and re-grades.

If you compare two subjects that are fairly equal like two regular commons or two fairly equal HOF's you will get a pretty accurate gauge from the pop reports. There are instances that require other tools like past sales and general knowledge to get a better gauge. The Lundgren is a good example because he is one of the higher profile commons who is more likely to be graded and re-graded but he's also more likely to come up for sale and most people that collect T206's know that his PD350's come up for sale as often as any of the other 10 with the exception of Ganley. If someone is attempting A Piedmont elite 11 they will have more opportunity's to pick up a Lungren than they will a Spencer or Shaw and the pop reports, past sales and general knowledge all reflect that.

Since 1984, I have had many T206 Lundgren (Cubs) cards through-out the years. His cards have always fascinated me.
His 150/350 Series cards were printed with only 3 different backs, as shown here. Also, I have included my "blue-less"
Lundgren printing error for 's

Lundgren is an interesting subject for sure Ted. His Kansas City version only comes with 4 backs and is actually about as tough as his Chicago version in general. Together both versions are only available with 5 different backs.
