Sovereign 460

[yoyot1]

Another data point:

Out of 541 T206:
6 Sov 150
16 Sov 350
0 Sov 460

Can't say that the 150 and 460 are same scarcity, but both rarer than 350 definitely.

Hey guys, here is my data from putting together a complete set of SOVEREIGN cards (408 cards).

First of all, here is the make-up of this complete set........

150 Series = 151 cards (- Jennings, Lundgren, Magie, Plank, Wagner)

350 Series = 205 cards (-37 Major Lgrs. & -27 Minor Lgrs. & -Demmitt & -O'Hara)

460 Series = 46 cards [- Kleinow (Boston) & Smith (Chi & Bos)]

350/460 Series = 6 super prints


Levels of scarcity........

Very Tough = SOVEREIGN 460......6 super prints

Tough = SOVEREIGN 460.........460-only (46) cards

Not as easy = SOVEREIGN 150......151 cards

Easiest = SOVEREIGN 350........350 only (205) cards


Any questions, feel free to ask ?

Interesting, an area where my tiny collection is doing ok.

150s 3
350s 4
460s 2

I had no idea the 460s were that tough.

Although there are more subjects in the 150 series, they seem harder to find than the 460 series. In my collection I have:

150's 1
350's 8
460's 7

150's seem especially tough in the higher grades. Not sure if they were printed in lower populations of each player.

Out of 86 Sovereign backs

150 -- 26
350 -- 50
460 -- 10

[Chicago206]

Seems the general concensus is that 460's are approximately twice as tough as 150's and perhaps 5-7x more scarce than 350's.


I brought up this discussion after having bought a couple of raw 460 beaters for about $30 apiece. I know that had they been raw Hindu or CB beaters, the price would be about 3 times that. Seeing as how these underappreciated backs are listed as being as rare as both the Hindu and CB, I thought that a $60 purchase to buy a couple was not too bad of a pick-up for my growing backs collection.


Thanks for the input from all you experts!
