Congratulations David McD. Sorry about pushing up your win price, but when it was down under a hundred I just couldn't let it go for that, I didn't need 2 of 'em but that was a bargain price. Good buy!!!





I think hardly anyone collects series 6. A few type card collectors. A few guys seeking all of one town/team. And then Stengel out there is quite similar to the block that Honus has on T206 collectors. If you really aren't ever going to pay for a Wagner, there's no way you can completely complete T206; same goes for Stengel in T206. To the extent that Stengel costs less, that is countered by the diminished availability. Truthfully now, don't you see more T206 Wagners offered for sale or auction in a given time period than you see T210 Stengels?



So it is a demand thing. The cards are so tough and so obscure that few folks chase them. Even few of the guys here... and the guys here are masters of obscurity (among other matters)!!
