As far as I know it's just condition sensitive. I have seen them frequently on ebay. Plus it has a great image, so I guess that would add to its popularity. |

Not that tough in lower grades, very tough Ex or better. It's a condition rarity. |

The Bengough is very tough in 6, 7, 8. A 6 will cost about $2000, 7 about $8000, 8 over $15000...there is 1 psa 9....at least $100,000k. If you check the pop reports you will see the top sets on the Registry have the majority of the cards. |

I think the condition is due to kids putting the cards in order then wrapping them with a rubber band. This caused the top and bottom cards to get damaged so you almost always see the first and last cards of a set bringing a premium. |

This card and Pafko irk me to no end because, as mentioned, the card is not hard to find, just hard to find in high grades. There is no reason to pay a premium for either card in grades below Ex. |

I think cards that are scarce in high grade may carry a mystique of scarcity that carries over to lower grades, even though they may not actually be particularly scarce in the lower grades. |

Peter, trimming was already a major concern by late 80s when Copeland was paying huge premiums for "mint" cards. Being very active in that hobby back then buying and selling, I never gave trimming much thought until someone came to my table asking if I had any t206s that were oversized. I didn't but asked him why he wanted them. He said he could get huge money for them from a dealer who would trim them down to "normal" size and then sell them to Copeland. That's when the truly dark side of the hobby became focused him brain. |

I picked up a Bengough a month or 2 ago in PSA4. I had to shell out over 400.00 for it. The 4's had been bringing that on Feebay...heck the 1's and 2's bring some strong money too. |

Why is this conversation taking place on a public forum? You really don't need to share these personal details with the rest of the world. |

How else could Peter discuss with Steve an upcoming dinner without resurrecting a month old thread about an obscure card in the 33 Goudey set? Give the guy a break! |

That's one thing Jerry never was, he was never speechless. He may have stuck his foot in his mouth often but he was never speechless. Come on Steve, let's rally the troops for the SF dinner. |

Oops, my mistake -- I misunderstood the context of your conversation. I didn't realize you were talking about the SF dinner, which is entirely appropriate to discuss here. Sorry about that. Carry on, fellas. |
