RE: T206 Backs Scarcity Lists

[Chicago206]

Well, as much as I'd like to buy cards a year ago, my flux capacitor is on the fritz. So im stuck in the here and now with here and now pricing.

You're right. About everything. Thank you for sharing your hobby knowledge. As a felow collector I really appreciate your insight.

Chicago,
I think you are talking apples and oranges anyway...the brown and red hindus were printed in different series. Therefore, you really cannot compare the two fairly. Nearly all the higher series cards seemed to be in less quantity than the lower series whether you are talking piedmont or hindu. Not to mention, it is nearly impossible to decide a rarity multiplier because things come to market or are discovered all the time which changes your ratings.

Look at T205s as example. 20 years ago, Hindu T205s were a rumor. Then a small find came to market and it was thought they were rarer than Drums. Then another small Hindu find was made and suddenly T205 Drums were rarer. In the last 3 years at least two finds of T205 Drums has made the two backs about even again with Drum maybe pulling ahead a bit. Market rarity is very hard to determine and even the best multiplier will be a range (i.e. 5x-7x).

Ted can correct me on the T206s as I am not as familiar with them as with T205.

Why is the "wheel being re-invented", again ? Jim Rivera had an excellent thread on this same subject 3 weeks ago.

Chicago206......either you are too lazy to do a SEARCH before you post, or you are a plagiarizer, or you have some
sort of an "agenda"......which is it ?


Joshua (Wite3)......regarding your......
" Chicago, I think you are talking apples and oranges anyway....the brown and red hindus were printed in different

You are absolutely correct. The Brown HINDU's were issued in the 1st series (150 Subjects). The Red HINDU's were
printed in very late 1910; and, were issued with the last (460) series cards in late 1910 and early 1911.

Furthermore, you are also correct in stating that "higher series cards seemed to be in less quantity"....e.g., BROAD
LEAF, DRUM, LENOX, Red HINDU, UZIT.
This is the same phenomena that occurred with the post-war issues (Bowman & Topps cards), where the Hi # cards
are always tougher to find than the Lo # cards (simply due to lesser Hi # quantities printed).

Best post of the morning. I am soaking it in like a frog on a log.
