Sweet Caporal T-206 back question
 
Posted By: <b>Dan Lundrigan</b><p>I just picked this card up on E-Bay and there is a thick red line near the bottom on the back of the card.I am new to collecting T-206`s so I don`t know a heck of alot about them is this card a reprint?None of the other Sweet Cap backs I have seen have this.The front of the card feels slightly glossy when compared to the other few T card`s I have.It looks legit to me but I am no expert any help is appreciated. <br /><br /><img src="http://www.network54.com/Realm/tmp/1203719443.JPG"> <br /><br /><img src="http://www.network54.com/Realm/tmp/1203719466.JPG">

Posted By: <b>Craig W</b><p>That is the Factory 649 Overprint. It makes the card a bit more valuable than if it was Factory 25 or Factory 30.<br /><br />This link shows the various backs in T206: <a href="http://www.t206museum.com/page/bk_reglt.html" target="_new" rel="nofollow"><a href="http://www.t206museum.com/page/bk_reglt.html</a" target="_new" rel="nofollow">http://www.t206museum.com/page/bk_reglt.html</a</a>><br /><br />And here's a list of backs in order of rarity: <a href="http://www.t206guide.com/back_guide.htm" target="_new" rel="nofollow">http://www.t206guide.com/back_guide.htm</a><br />

Posted By: <b>Scott Levy</b><p>Craig,<br /><br />Where did you get that list from? It has a few curious rankings. I had always heard/thought that OM brown was the toughest on that list (almost as rare as the Cobb).

Posted By: <b>Scott Levy</b><p>Ok thanks. I wasn't trying to give you a hard time...just wanted to know if you had some 'secret source'. FWIW, I happen to agree with T206 museum's rankings.<br /><br />Regards,<br />SGL
