Marc S.I can't say as I've ever seen a straight auction for an 8.5 in T-206. A Hunt auction from a year or so ago had a lot of T-206 cards that included a Dooin SGC 92, but I haven't see too many others.
So much of the prices of the 8s [and, to a lesser extent, 9s] is driven by Registry considerations on PSA (which I'm not endorsing, by the way), I see relatively few T-206s in very high grade in SGC holders for the purposes of sale/auction. It seems like those that exist are graded by collectors and stay with those collectors.
