Do Topps buybacks add value to T-206's?
Do you value buybacks nore than the same card raw?
Why or why not? |

I do not put a premium on them over a raw t206, but i imagine some do. Dave.

I don't do t206's but I do collect T205's, and I don't put any premium on a T205 buy back.

Personally, I avoid the Topps buy backs.

No, to me the buybacks never added any extra value. I bought around a half dozen or so when I was putting together my set. The first thing I did when they arrived was to cut them out of the plastic holders. I never paid a premium for the few I bought and routinely laughed at the asking prices on most.
Not saying it was a dumb idea. It just wasn't for me.

I don't, the value of a topps buyback in my opinion is the card it contains. The fact that there may only be one or a few topps buybacks of a particular player don't change things in my mind, its the t206 that has all the value not the "gimmick" containing it. I wouldn't value a card more if it had an extravagant holder v. a pain holder, its the card itself with the value.

Value of T206 Buybacks
I might value these buybacks more than raw T206 cards if I could be pretty sure that they weren't altered, and that they would therefore be gradeable. Does anybody know if Topps had professional graders who could assure Topps that these cards were authentic and unaltered prior to being sealed in the buyback holders?

So authentic...no issue. Altered...it seems I remember seeing some trimmed ones out there. The overwhelming majority of the cards just appear to be relatively decent, lower to middle condition examples. Brian Last edited by brianp-beme; 12-27-2016 at 01:05 PM. |

Never had a problem grading a topps T206. Bought a decent amount of them at a good price, tore them out of the stupid modern card thingy and graded them. Best I got was a PSA 4.5, but got grades on everything. Probably a couple dozen cards.

I know i posted to this thread over 3.5 years ago, just wanted to add that since that post i have still not bought any t205 buybacks. Just not appealing imo. Id prefer raw or graded. Order of preference on graded would be, SGC, BVG, PSA.

This reminds me of a funny story from the following year (after the T206 set was released) relating to Cracker Jacks.
Kit Young (as previously mentioned) had purchased most of the T205 and T206 cards involved so when he started putting buy ads out for Cracker Jack, I jokingly posted on some message board (May have been this one or the old BMB) -- that I bet Topps is doing a Cracker Jack set next. Funniest thing -- after I posted and we sent Clay Luraschi at Topps an email about this -- we had actually scooped Topps on their own product announcement and the next day they described their plans for a Cracker Jack set. Yep --we made Topps change their own PR plans for the Cracker Jack set. Good times Regards Rich
