Need to call attention to this and call it out. This is disgusting. Why can't people just show gratitude and not be the guy that ruins it?

I don’t understand what there is to call out.

So... anybody know (or want to disclose) why this person is spending all this cash on the Evans T206?

Christmas gifts ?

Eric i was thinking the same thing. Maybe Evans is someone great grandfather or relative and thus would be a cool gift to give to members of the family.

I am also curious to see if the spigot turns off after Christmas.

I have the feeling this individual is a bottomless pit spigot type of collector.

Maybe, or he's taking a break. There are quite a few listed on eBay right now.

I added my Evans to the pile on eBay. I'm not in a selling mode, but if I can sell it and buy a green Cobb... I'm going to take that deal.

Now that it’s over I’d be a buyer of a low grade <$100 🙃

Number go up!

Why not 25K? Blapo is like a market maker on a stock with a hostile takeover, like in the movie Wallstreet. When the float dries up, it could blast through his high ask.

By the numbers... PSA pop

O'Hara Stl PB--- 344
Demmitt Stl PB- 361
Evans all backs--358

Someone may have already done this but I checked the last 8 ebay t206 Evans auctions , starting September 11 someone with a Feedback of (47) has won Seven of the eight auctions and finish second in the other

In the one this feedback buyer (47) lost, he lost by 33 cents (the winner did put in an additional bid in the last few seconds of the auction, just in case (47) put in another bid). Bet that one stings for (47).

Imagine if you are this seller, who sold his Carolina Brights Evans thinking he made a great sell, then realizing the buyer would have paid a lot more (i.e. $8500 for a "rare" no St. Louis variation).

BTW, shout out to JPWINN for mentioning 130 point! I'd never heard about that before but what a great site.

what this doesn't even remotely account for is the fact that, due to their notoriety a much higher percentage of available O'Hara and Demmitt are graded. Versus a dead common. I'm just making up numbers but if, for the sake of argument we say half of all O'Hara and Demmitt St. Louis are graded I'd be shocked if 1/20th of all Evans are.

I know. Anytime I say Demmitt and O'Hara are not rare by my definition, the pitchforks break out. haha.

I think the Evans card's pop will rocket up by next month.

Nice cards, Jeff.

I'm kind of surprised more people are not interested in this topic. I've never seen something like this. It makes no sense. Why isn't he buying the 1915 Cracker Jack on eBay for $283 from TonyETrade?

Probably doesn't trust Tony.

Or maybe he hasn't discovered that this player is on other issues in addition to the T206.

Why? Because the buyer is going to get his all graded or because you and other T206 collectors are going to decide to get yours graded?

Blapo - I understand the price point, but conflating the idea that this is an extremely rare is disingenuous. Sure it is that gray line, but I think generally that we should hold ourselves to a higher standard than that being okay. I just posted one with the exact same feature, and a ton of the Polar Bears have the same thing.

[npa589]

The one that sold for 10k seemed to have St. Louis missing. I know there is a lot of skepticism on those cards though.

Just to note - it’s a card altered or faded to remove the red layer. It’s not a legitimate error. There’s a reason missing red cards are seen so often. It did not leave the factory that way.

Definitely a fair argument. I hadn't heard about it since this weekend, when someone mentioned it on facebook. I was skeptical then, but do know that there are people on both sides of the pink/red issues in T206.

WHen I saw it mentioned on Facebook, I made an assumption that the person had seen it in a pop report on PSA (which even if its there - it does not solidify it as being a legitimate error)
