Complete T208 Set to be sold by Legendary in November

[E93]

I know the source of the fifteen going to REA. They are from a very old (and incredible) collection.

ah...I see.

so I guess the three MIA will be Plank, Lord and Morgan.

I'm sure this is a naive questions. But are T208s significantly rarer than the Williams and Rochester Baking cards?

[rman444]

It sounds like there are around 8 of each T208 around? I would guess maybe 12-15 or so of each Williams and another 15-20 of each Rochester?

I have never seen or heard of a E104-1 combination with the "World's Champions" tag line on front with the Nadja back. I have only seen blank backs on the E104-1s with the "World's Champions" tag line on front(similar to the D359 and T208).

If you are talking about the ones without the "World's Champions" tagline on the front, E104-1s do come with the Nadja back. They are tougher than the blank back E014-1s without the tagline, but they are out there.

By far, my favorite images! The guy (I'll assume it's a guy) who purchased the Legendary t208 overpaid by a bunch. If REA sells them as individual lots, I would guess they go under $10k for a common even in EX condition.

Rman- your numbers sound right. I know of one other complete set and two other guys who have 1 example. Very tough, but obviously obtainable if you are patient.

Wes... I was gonna say that.

I think the d359's and e104's have been beaten down lately, but they will do OK in the future. It should be a more popular set in that it has a great set of images, players, and they are available in bread, tobacco, or candy form. Unfortunately, this is as close as I will come to a t208...

Richard,

Are the Williams D-359s considered tougher than the Rochester backs?

I had always thought it was the other way around but I wouldn't know for sure as I haven't kept as close tabs on the set once I acquired one of each type of back for my type collection.

Any other D-359 collectors care to share their opinion/experience on the relative scarcity between the Williams and Rochester backs?

Hi Scott- Ive had about 10 D359's over the past year and a half, and I think they were all Williams, but I'm doing this by memory.

Correction: I just looked them up and most were Rochester. Just goes to show you- never trust your memory.

Scott - I was just going by graded population counts. I don't know enough about the issue and about hidden collections to be able to add anything more intelligent.
