If you've ever wondered what a T206 PSA 10 looks like...

[Rhotchkiss]

When was the last time PSA gave out a 10, let alone a 9 or even an 8, on a t206? Seems to me, all very high grade t206s have older serial numbers. I would rather buy the more-recently-graded 7, which often looks awfully close (and sometimes better) than 8s and even 9s, and save the $25k+. Nothing against the McGraw- it’s an absolute beauty!!- but at some point you are paying a lot of extra $$ for the flip. Regardless, the t206s coming up in Heritage are unreal. Totally out of this world.

I can’t wait to see what the McGraw trades for. I put the over/under at $80k, and I am taking the over.

Ryan, I hear you, but I would take the under....Here's the problem now with T206s graded at 8 or higher, there just aren't that many buyers anymore....You can buy a solid 8 for a fraction of the price, and I mean a fraction...Plus, the cards are near identical....

I think that applies to most issues, not just T206s. And I agree.

The market goes up, the market goes down. It will be interesting to see how the Pre-WWII cards do in the future, from a value perspective. I remember when Caramels (E cards) were the hot thing. Now many, if not most, can be had for a small fraction of what they were 15 - 18 yrs ago.

I should add, it's also going to be interesting to see where these 9s and 10s end up. But it might be a different type collector of those than a mid grade card so that tells us something, just not sure what (investors?).
