Meaning…in that eBay auction, the two scans provided don’t appear to be the same card. To my eye, the corners don’t match (top, left especially) and the edges appear to be different.

Hey Sonny, Yeah it does look like the back doesn't match the front. Odd though because the seller hasn't sold any other cards and he doesn't have any other cards listed either.

I think Sonny, is right, it's just a fake scan, not a fake card. He doesn't have a card to sell.

In the earlier post, where someone said the guy that bought the card from him at auction for $150 is "in the business". I think that was a dealer that knows there is a whale for T206 Evans.

Here is what ChatGPT has to say on the matter...


Is someone other than Steve Evans pictured on the T206 baseball card?


Yes, Steve Evans is not pictured on the T206 baseball card. The T206 set, produced between 1909 and 1911, features various baseball players, but Steve Evans himself does not have a card in that particular set. The T206 set is famous for including cards of many other notable players from that era, like Honus Wagner and Ty Cobb, among others, but not Steve Evans.

Who is the player pictured on the T206 Evans card?

The T206 card that features the name "Steve Evans" actually pictures a player named Mike "Doc" Powers, a catcher for the Philadelphia Athletics during the early 1900s. This card was mistakenly labeled with the name "Steve Evans" due to an error in the printing process, leading to confusion among collectors. The image on the T206 card does not match the actual player named Steve Evans, hence the misidentification.


But wait there's more...


Who is pictured on the T206 Powers baseball card?

The T206 Powers baseball card features Charles "Boss" Schmidt, a former professional baseball catcher who played primarily for the Detroit Tigers in the early 20th century. The card is part of the famous T206 tobacco baseball card set issued between 1909 and 1911.



Who is pictured on the T206 Schmidt baseball card?

The T206 baseball card featuring Charles "Boss" Schmidt actually portrays Charles "Boss" Schmidt himself. Schmidt was a professional baseball catcher who played for the Detroit Tigers during the early 1900s. His image is featured on his own T206 card within the renowned T206 tobacco baseball card set, which was circulated between 1909 and 1911.

I had worked my t206 count up to 507 but just departed with my Evans. I can confirm these sales are legit for anyone thinking of flipping their cards, payment was prompt after my item was sold.

I just hope all the Evans cards don't get hoarded and I can complete my set some day!

So what is this guys tab so far? 15-20k?

if all the high priced sales are going to same buyer, it's well over 50k (probably around 75k) and that's taking best offer discounts into consideration.

The person who was trying (or did) sell the Piedmont back stole a picture of my Polar Bear front, that I had listed earlier.

These are real purchases. It's very strange, but true and I don't think he is looking for print flaws. I do think that people are taking advantage of it...like the person who took the image from my post.

A compulsive buyer named Steve Evans - buying up T206 Steve Evans - and paying 100x market price. Congrats to the buyer for spending $$ on what he is after and congrats to the sellers that caught this trend early and cashed in. Will be interesting to see where this goes from here.

of course I sold my "4" a couple months ago...
