So, you're charging $4 grand. you're just kidding or hoping for a sucker, huh?

I just looked at completed sales. The sellers are the usual T206 sellers asking $2000 and getting it. I guess I need to check my T206 box for Evans. Do you think they need the T213-2 back?

This is why "past sales" don't really mean anything, unless that buyer is there buying.

Evans is roughly at the median in terms of scarcity.

About as vanilla as it gets.

We had meme stocks like GameStop maybe we now have meme cards.

Hey Scot. I checked the PSA Pop report on Evans: 294, which shocked me. That's right at the #'s of much heralded harder to find cards in Ames (hands at chest) & the very difficult Schulte (front view). But, why is Evans an expensive card now when it wasn't only a few months ago? Weeks ago he was vanilla.

His Buy It Now #'s on Ebay are stupid. They are at Matty white cap $#'s for the same grade.

The PSA pop on Evans is actually 358 but I think he's still the lowest pop of any non Southern Leaguer that didn't have a team change Like Elberfeld, Dahlen, George Brown etc...
and his pop numbers are about the same as the team change subjects with lower pops.

Of the ones that sold in recent auctions it was the same two high bidders in all of them with most of them being won by the same bidder.

There are no major print flaws that I'm aware of just one minor print flaw that I've only seen on Polar Bears.

Hopefully the OP changes the title of this thread, because otherwise folks might think that both sides of these card transactions are getting even stevens.

I've only seen 7 examples out of 500+ Evans and they are all Polar Bears. I see there was a Polar Bear and a Piedmont with the flaw in the recent sales. That's the first non Polar Bear that I have seen with the flaw.
Steve B would probably have some possible causes of the flaw. My guess would be it had something to do with the Yellow printing plate.

Here's another example with the flaw

Hi Bob,

Pops have a price component as you are aware. Higher priced subjects get submitted more often. The main reason Evans has a comparably low pop to Ames HAC and Schulte FV (I’ll take your word for it—I haven’t checked) is that those subjects are higher priced. Watch the Evans pop spike from here.

This thesis is confirmable by normalizing pops by condition. Every subject should have close to the same grade profile in the wild. When I normalized pops by condition back in 2016 Evans came out about average in terms of scarcity.

WARNING CONSPIRACY ALERT:

Maybe the buyer is going to keep the rare back and higher condition cards and make a You Tube or Facebook video or post which shows him/her/them DESTROYING the other Evans cards they bought thus making his card both famous and more scarce...
