I am a bit shocked that some of the estimates are so low. In 1976 or 1977 I attended my first major card convention in Detroit. I had one T206 in my collection (Doc White Sovereign portrait) and about $200 spending money. One of my major purchases was a stack of 100 T206s for 25 cents apiece. Most lower grade but some better. HOFers included. Also a wide mix of backs. Believe it or not there were 3 UZITs, a DRUM, and I think the brown Hindu Wilbur Goode I traded to a board member last year. Being ignorant and backs having apparently no premium at all I never realized that I got an amazing deal. Still have the Drum and one Uzit. Kind of staggering to think that I at one time owned 4 of the rarest couple of thousand T206s and that I got em for a buck! And the dealer (who I believe was one of the biggest in the hobby) thought they were junk!!
