Complete T208 Set to be sold by Legendary in November

[Jay Wolt]

Barry is correct, here is the card.
and no! its not mine

[chaddurbin]

to the veteran t208 collectors out there, are t208:d359:e104=e92:e101:e102? i believe the e92s/e101s/e102s were all printed at the same place, just different backs for various distributions...can t208s/d359s/e104s be the same? i've never handled a t208 in person but d359 and e104 have a similar thick(er) stock than most other e cards.

q - you going to start hoarding all them e104 blank backs?

[Steve D]

I hate to bring up this question and sound like some sort of conspiracy theorist, but is it possible that someone could take a group of E104 blank backs (whose fronts are identical to the corresponding T208s), and have the backs printed in T208 fashion?

If this were so, would PSA or SGC be able to catch it?

And to answer any questions, no, I haven't tried to do this, nor do I want to. E104/D359/T208 cards are too expensive for my sardine-sized budget. I'm just wondering if this "flood" of T208s suddenly hitting the market might portend some hidden motives/shenanigans.

I don't know about the 18 but the provenance on the 15 in the Spring REA is impeccable.

[Rich Klein]

And something I learned from the good Dr. I'm probably paraphrising this badly.

If nothing gets traded at a lower "price guide" price point and is tough; maybe the price in the guide is too low and only higher prices. With these cards; no one ever sold them until the REA and then the Legendary sale and thus when the higher prices were realized than many people wanted to take advantage (although maybe only a couple actually OWN these cards)

...and does the inexplicable difficuty of the Dygert Williams Baking card correspond in Fireside ?? are the greenies tougher in T208 as in D359 ?

...and as for conspiracy theorems...was it this set that needed Dygert to complete...and/or set a market benchmark? seeing that the same card only brought 3,500 in 2004, albeit unslabbed and naked.

[Leon]

I will take a wild stab and say all of the Firesides are equally rare. I think the Dygert was just the first one out in a long time. I don't remember one in the last several years in REA but I might be forgetting one....It will be interesting to see how the set and the large group do...
