T206 carolina brights...why not higher prices??

[CMIZ5290]

This is a back that continues to amaze me. Current psa population reports show only 4 cards graded PSA 6 with none higher!! That's insane! Why not a higher premium then on price? Would love to hear thoughts and opinions on this one......Is PSA's report not accurate? I hope Ted Z and Brian weigh in on this one.....

Defintely an underappreciated t206 back. I don't really understand why? It's actually an interesting back compared to many others in t206. I cant answer your question but if T206 rare backs continue to rise the Carolina brights will soon follow. And will someday be more appreciated and valued.

[ethicsprof]

it's a mystery to me.
they truly are beauties IMHO.
I suspect Peter has it right when he says things are bound to change for this
back in time.
I have only one---the Lundgren Kansas City.
all the best,

I would say that in my very limited area of collecting, the list of possibles is not correct.

CAROLINA BRIGHTS (CB) is strictly a 350-Only series back; and therefore, is found with only 13 - Star cards. I think this may explain why the collector demand is
less for the CB cards than other T206 tough backs of similar rarity. The majority of CB's are found on Minor Leaguer's and common Major Leaguer's. In my opinion,
this factor has kept the CB card prices relatively lower than they should be (and, will probably continue to keep them lower).

The only Stars that I know of with CB backs are these 13 subjects........

Bresnahan (bat)
** Chance (yellow portrait)
** Chase (blue portrait)
** Chase (dark cap)
** Cobb (red portrait)
Collins (A's)
Collins (Minn)
** Evers (bat-Chicago)
Kelley
** Mathewson (dark cap)

My offer of $100 for a Carrigan CB still stands. I have never seen one in 10 years of searching to complete my back run.

Here's a checklist, for those who are interested:

Thx Rob, I have seen the checklists around, but never a confirmed sighting. I confirmed the AB350 back, which had not been seen.

Hey Rawn

If I find Carrigan with a CB back before you do....I'll drive up to Maine and personally deliver the card to you.

Anyhow, I have to check up on my Grandson at the Univ. of Maine.

Lot's of luck.
