RE: T206 Backs Scarcity Lists

I don't think a Red Hindu common would run you $800 either. I remember not too long ago I had the opportunity to buy an Uzit 1 without any paper loss for $750. I would think a Red Hindu would be more in the $500 range.

Best of luck in that search!!! I just bought one for $875, and it was a great deal compared to the $1250 asking price on another PSA 1 in a prominent dealer's inventory. You made a poor choice in not buying that Uzit by the way....a very poor choice!

John,

Damn...there is a page two to the auction results. But yes, no AUTH will beat any card with the Gretzky designation.

I'd pay $500 MAX for a common PSA 1 Red Hindu. There are a lot out there...you just have to be patient.

Thank you for the well wishes in my search and for your clear wisdom on spending my money.

Whatever prominent dealer is asking for $1275 for a common red, I'm sure is one of the same dealers we are complaining about in another thread. Chicago, in your quest to finish so quickly, you may have missed that there are PLENTY of lower prices to be had than what you paid.

Plus why are you so obsessed with back prices when you just sold your back collection?

I think that is what drives his learning process. Fine by me as long as it doesn't blow up again into a Chicago vs. The World again...

This thread wasnt even about prices. Its about back scarcity relative to surviving populations....nothing to do at all with prices.

But to answer your question about why im interested, its because I decided to keep the Drum card and refocus only only the rarest backs. I picked up a red Hindu recently, and have bids in on several Uzits in auction. This thread went slightly off course when certain prices were mentioned that we disagree on. Most specifically that red Hindu you guys claim can be found easily at $500. I posted a BST challenge on that by the way. Lets see just how many I can snag at that $500 level.

pretty sure this is the Uzit that was offered at 750-I didn't pass...

Thank you Steve.
