T213's rarity compared to T206

[jggames]

Personally I like having the Type-1s in my T206 set. I was going after them pretty hard the last couple years and I think they’re closer to BroadLeafs and CBs not UZITs…the T215s however are closer to UZITs (in my opinion). Here’s one of my pages with both.

Nice Coupon and Red Cross!

There's way more knowledgable collectors here then me, as it relates to Coupon & Red Cross (I've owned 2-3 Coupons, but they never did much for me, compared to the T206 backs), but it is my impression, and according to T206 Resource, Coupon Type 1's are close to CB's and Blank Backs as far as rarity goes, and Red Cross is close to BL 350 and Black Lenox. Neither near the rarity of Red Hindu or Uzit.

The Red Cross in particular, though, is a great looking back.

Apologies for taking a tangent into a Red Cross discussion, but purely for anecdotal evidence…in the last 4 years or so, I was able to add Lenox, BLs, RHs and UZITs long before having the opportunity to get a Red Cross back. Could just be a timing issue, but it was the one back that was truly hard to find relative to the others mentioned.

They are cool cards, but sometimes scarcity works against you as they dont trade and are hard to collect. Seems to be the case for these somewhat. If you feel that makes them undervalued, buy the ones you find!

Coupons are extremely tough. I do think they are under-valued compared to T206's. Obviously due to demand, which we know is key.

PSA Pop for these three. Couldn't access SGC pop at the moment so I'll check later.

Type 1 - 1
Type 2 - 30
Type 3 - 12

Thanks for the assist, Pat.

Even the Type 2 Matty is still under 100 graded.

From a supply standpoint, the Coupons are ridiculously difficult - even the type 2's. A quick scan of the PSA and SGC pop reports:

Christy Mathewson is the highest pop card in the SGC pop report at 53 graded examples, 23 of those graded under 2. There are many with single digit and very low double digit pop's

On the PSA side Cobb is the most graded with 45 examples 25 of them graded under 2

The Type 1 and 3's are almost all single digit populations.

I'm not suggesting these are all there are as I am sure there are a bunch of raw ones out there, but use the data as a point of comparison to population relative to T206.

Where the T213's have historically suffered is on the demand side. Without getting back into the "are they T206's" debate, I am perplexed whether they are or are not, that they do not get more price respect in the market place - some of these cards are INCREDIBLY hard to find - forget about completing a set!

I personally find the glossy sheen that makes the colors pop on the Type 2's to make them considerably more visually attractive than T206's.
