Jon, They also re-used or buybacked the buyback's for 2010 T206, so if you pull a card out of the 2010 product you can end up with any Series 2002 card.

Jon, Beckett BVG will leave in frame and assign a number grade for the original T206, I have a few SGC and if they leave card in Topps frame, they will only grade it a A, unless they have switched this recently, the few I have graded are just authentic...

Interesting stuff.

Anyone get a T206 yet from the diamond dig cards? The pulldown menus for trading show 1909 as a year, but I haven't seen any available to make trade offers for. Maybe the last few buybacks?

Here a few more frame colors. Scans taken from Ebay auctions. The black frame came out within the last few years. Most of the T206s in these frames are usually in decent shape, although recently I saw one that was rough.

I own 6 of these Buybacks at this time. You can find some interesting player/back combos in them sometimes. Last year I picked up a Ewing & Karger with Piedmont 350 backs.

What always seemed odd to me was when they put T205s in these frames and the frame still had "T206" printed on it. I parted with my only one last year to a fellow board member.
