T206 backs Prices

[David R]

I think we are in a huge bubble on these rare backs. I see people listing common players with Hindu, Broadleaf and American Beauty backs for more than I bought HOFers with those backs in the same grade just last year. I am glad because I collect rare-backed T206 HOFers but I scratch my head as to the reason for this recent surge.

I have a feeling that this bubble isn't going to pop. People are gobbling them up for their (perceived) scarcity. Once they get them, they hold tight (out of fear they won't be able to find again, or at least not as cheap). This "cycle" keeps spinning itself and the only way to stop it (and drive prices down) would be for a huge influx of these to the market...I don't see that happening.

I agree - I think that the the total population of the cards being relatively small in the context of the set as a whole will keep the prices from dropping. We are in a cycle (a "Cycle" cycle if you will ) of far more of these cards going into collections than coming out

I agree with Mike H. AB460's in good are selling for $90-$125 range. Some poses are rarely seen and could sell for more. But that's not relevant because this thread is listing the typical price for the back types.
