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.

The ship may have sailed. Seems like there has been no New Ebay sales the last 2 days. Congratulations to all who have had the luck to cash in on this Evens buying spree. Unfortunately for me I sold my PSA 5 several Months ago for $250.00 .Still Not sure how the price soar of this card happened.The buyer could have easily picked up these common T206 cards at a small fraction of what he paid if he just stayed patient and stayed under the radar.
Glad that I started this post . Seems like everyone on Net 54 who had an Evens card cashed in .

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

I gave my T206 Evans card a verbal warning after he off-handedly suggested that he wouldn't mind a change of scenery to greener pastures.

Let it be known a second instance will be considered insubordination, and could resort in his removal from his T206 brethren to a facility housing strip card inmates.

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 are these actually worth?

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.

[G1911]

Presumably this guy just wants the T206. Paying money for cardboard pictures isn't really logical in the first place. There's not going to be some logical reason for this, some idiot is doing a thing because they want to do that.

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?

Mine would probably grade Auth. If you had a nice good to very good T206 Evans and Probstein or Just Collect offered you $350 for it today, would you sell it to them? No, it's a valuable card now, and people send valuable cards like Ty Cobb to be graded before selling.
