The Next 100K Card

[bbcard1]

I would agree with Plank. I have always thought it was the toughest of the big three. I think there will be outliers from time to time, but I don't think it will mean anything really.

Do you think rare backs could ever be part of this discussion or are back collectors too much of a niche crowd?

I don't see any chance for rare backs to ever approach such levels. Even the Ty Cobb back (which likely isn't even a T206...) has only recently breached those levels, and there is a finite number of them known.

Rare backs will always have a following -- but they will never be $100K cards. Even the hardest of the hard -- Uzit, Drum, BL 460, etc. are still found regularly, and if they breached $10K on a regular basis, I am sure that you would see many coming out of the wordwork.

There is an algorithm, I'm sure, that keeps prices of rare back in relative check with the rest of set. Sure, I absolutely love my T206 rare backs, but even with the humble collection I have, I'm sure it would go a long way to purchasing an entire T206 set (less the Big 4). There is a ratio there that I think will always stay in relative balance.

Is the T206 Doyle (NY Nat'l) already past 100K? If not, I think this card will hit the mark because it's so rare. I also think the T210 Jackson will also go past 100K if it hasn't already.

Anything above a 1 on either of these cards is already past 100k, and many 1's will be.....The Doyle is probably almost twice that already....(depending on the aesthetics)

Decent cobbs (5s or better) with super rare backs (Uzit, Drum, BL 460 and of course Ty Cobb) have a shot.

Didn't a PSA 2 or 3 Jackson go for around 200K? The Doyle is already there
