T206 off back common prices

[iwantitiwinit]

In my opinion, common T206 subjects with less common backs have come down significantly in the past few months. Demand doesn't seem to be be there much except in the case where the cards are offerred at premium auction houses ie, REA, Heritage, Mile High, etc.

Don't take this the wrong way, but the prices realized on these two Hindus were due to condition issues. I wouldn't bid on the Pastorius because of the ink mark on the front, nor the Wilhelm due to the condition of the back. But great pick ups for the price though!

I have not seen too much dipping of pricing on rare backs. I just picked up the Mike Powers Hindu PSA 3 in REA, which was almost $900 all-in.

I've noticed the same on a couple of low-pop T206 American Beauty backs recently. One sold for $750 in Feb 2022 and $225 in Feb 2024 and the other dropped from about $650 to $200 over the same time frame. I was glad to pick them up at the lower prices

I have noticed that The price on T206 Rare backs have come down significantly.
It seems like every auction house is loaded with them. I’ve never seen so many
Carolina Brights, Broadleafs, Uzit and even Drums come up for sale. Some collectors are unloading all of them at once.There are so many available now. In the past if one of these rare backs came up for sale you would have many bidders for one card where now they have many to choose from and most collectors only want one of each back for their collection.Also take into consideration that several years ago you had some Big Players bidding up each card while chasing a master T206 Set with every card / back available. Add these factors plus a tough economy and that will drive card prices down.

One of the largest collectors of off backs sold his gigantic collection through PWCC, then HA and finally REA (Uzit's). It appears that other collectors as well thought it time to sell their off backs as many have seem to come available. The prices have definitely come down. Like the stock market it takes bravery to buy on a down swing and hard to predict the bottom. Along with some of these big money sellers no longer being buyers with their high top all bids, alot of these cards are not doing anywhere near what they did a few years back. I sold a PSA 2 centered very nice common EPDG in REA 6 months ago and it did 90.00. 3 years ago it would be closer to double that
