Most overrated...overvalued VINTAGE card?

[ullmandds]

In your opinion...what VINTAGE BB card is the most overrated...overvalued card out there?

Now I'm not looking for T206 Wags...because it is what it is. I'm talking Zeenut Halla...T210 mascot card...T206 Shag/Titus...or even card once thought to be tough but eventually deemed not so much...ie T207 Loudy.

I'm not sure what card that's in reference to? Please share.

I agree that the Play Ball card of Joe Jackson is the most overvalued - and for the same reason, several others from that set as well (players appearing far outside of their careers - kind of like the current tribute card frenzy)

I have craved that Zeenut Halla card ever since the first time I saw it a few years ago...and since I have spent a lot to get the other cards I always wanted, that would be at the top of my list.

Obak card of "Ten Million". Family convinced his mother and father to name him ten, as a nice play on their surname (million) so that his name would stand out.

Hey, that's my card!.

I really like the Ten Million, and felt compelled to get one after seeking out the Obak building in Portland (using Mark McRae's directions, and following a nice lesson on PCL/NWL, etc). In addition to the cool name, I think it's a very nice looking card and like so many other T212s, has some funky cool background colors. I guess I agree with the others that it's value is probably a bit inflated, but for my sake I hope it stays there!

.. As far as over hyped, chalk up another vote for Titus... And 100% agree on post career cards like the PB Jackson. I'll add another to that list- 1932 US Caramel Ty Cobb.

At least Magie is a true error and not just a printing issue.

I agree with you - cool name, and a handsome looking card. The rich, deep red background is quite appealing.

I feel like Adrian right about now!

For over rated I`d say, the Play Ball Joe Jackson card. Big a fan as the next guy but a card 20 years after he`s active, rather spend the money on a different Jackson item.

[ullmandds]

Adrian totally agrees!

Welcome to the world of 206's, pat I agree pat...those slight errors are the worst!

Sean, wouldn't the value of magie have a lot to do with it's rarity? And not necessarily because it's overhyped?

Yes, the error is rare. The card is the same as a MAGEE card, not rare at all.

For sure, but I guess we could say the same for Demmit and O'hara as well.

Oh yeah...put me down for the T206 Titus. A few years ago it was selling like a common should. A hoarder and some hype really made this card "rare".
