Value-wise, they are expensive but bring nowhere near a BL460 price; maybe like a black lenox (or a bit less)

I personally wouldn't classify any T213, T214, or T215 subtype as ""very rare," but I think we just disagree on the semantics there, not what the actual numbers are.

One quibble though. I've seen 3 different examples of the T213-3 (factory overprint) Eddie Collins.

There are a few of the T213-3 overprints that used to turn up of the same player, if I recall correctly when I was into backs even more than now. All of these LA issues are rare relative to collecting whatever it is they (new card collectors) do today. Well, I guess not if you include manufactured rarity. And I know there are a few in vintage but not all of them. I miss some of my old cards....but i know they went to good homes.
