How scarce are Blank backed cards

[ullmandds]

that mcgraw looks like an end panel from a t202?

[scottglevy]

Agreed that T205s are super, super tough. T206s and T207s while not common are certainly out there. By the way almost all real blank backs in each of these issues are trimmed.

I'd toss out my rough estimates on value -- but certainly could be off:
T205 - $1000
T206 - $400
T207 - $200


P.S.
Pup,

Let me know if you're looking for a T207 blank back --- I happen to have an extra dupe.

Regards,
Scott

The image area of the McGraw above is the same size as a T205 (not smaller like the T202 pannels)..... its a T205 without the gold (printers scraps)



Ive had a couple T206's, no T205's, and many T207s, ........I dont have any now, but Ive had about 15 of the T207's in last 5 years (all from eBay) but I think most are from the same original source (printer scraps).

They are handcut.

very nice 205s-I don't think I have seen those.


I own about 7 or 8 and all are 206-imagine that...

I agree. Does not look close to the T205

I have one T206. It is also hand-cut.

I had a T205. Sold it on eBay about 2 years ago for about $200 or so... The card was rough, but not a beater. So, I'm not sure if $1k is really the going price...

The T205 McGraw appears to be a genuine printer's scrap; the gold border was never applied to the card.


I've owned one of each blank back and sold them all in '07:

T205--Sold for $800
T206--Sold for $300
T207--Sold for $150

i can only speak for t206. The blank back cards are ALL hand cut as far as i know...i have never seen a factory cut "blank backed" t206 before....these cards were hand cut from printers' sheets, and can really arguably be considered a "printer's scrap". I would be really skeptical if i saw a factory cut t206 being marketed as a "blank back" and would want it sgc graded...it would have to be correct thickness and even edges to within the t206 parameters...

Scott and Jim will agree i'm sure...but someone please post a scan of a t206 "factory cut" blank backed card, if you own one, ide love to see it..
They would be very valuable in my opinion...

The others are on the money....between $300-$400 very accurate,i picked up 3 in the last few months at 300,350 and 400.. depends how beat up they are .....imo, they are undervalued right now...although not "super rare" they are quite tuff!!!

hope this helps...and hello all!!

I have had this card for a few years...and it appears factory cut...or maybe very neatly hand cut years ago. I typically only get cards graded for sale...but this one is in my pile to have graded...someday...opinions?

The thickness is the same as any other T206?
