T205 Dolly Gray with stats

[nodgrass]

Thanks to all who chimed in about my question. I am somewhat surprised to find the general consensus of the Gray w/stats card is that it's not too tough. I had the opportunity to buy the Wallace 2 lines and Bresnahan mouth open from the same seller and steered my focus toward the Gray w/stats because of my perception that it was the most difficult. Apparently I made the wrong decision as the other two sold for less money. I guess it's true what they say about auctions. It only takes two people that want something.

Back in the 1980's the guides used to list Doc Scanlon as a common, then later it was considered to be a scarce card. However, I don't see it on any of the lists above. How is the card perceived today? Is it somewhat tougher, or just a common?

It still brings a premium. I bought one a couple of months ago and it was about 3-4 times what a common in similar condition would bring.

Thanks Marc. I assumed it was a little tougher.

Marc,

You made the correct decision buying the Gray with stats! If I had my choice I would buy the Gray with Stats over the other two with card condition being equal. I feel that is the hardest of the 3 to pick up.

My order of difficulty

Hard: Wallace 2 Line
Harder: Bresnahan Mouth Open
Hardest: Gray with Stats
