It's been back and forth for me. I've been selling some pretty beat up T206 cards on ebay lately as singles and I'm getting some pretty unbelievable numbers.

To get over $20 each for these cards....

...struck me as a bit odd, given they both have back damage (either paper loss or writing). Don't get me wrong, I was happy to get the money. But I'm certain I got these cards as part of large lots over the past year or so, where the going rate was somewhere in the $5-$7.50/card range.

I will concede that it's been much harder to get G-VG condition T206 cards in a lot for under $10/card lately. But I don't see that translating into singles for under $10/card. Given the nice prices of the raw cards I've been selling, I have been turning to SGC 40's and 50's for value.
