I’m with him on the Brown card. They are great cards that I have collected for years but they just don’t have the widespread appeal that this price would indicate. Never in a million years would I think a card of a non-baseball (or major 4-sport) from the T227 set bring this kind of money. The multi-sport sets from this era have never been that popular, the baseball players (when present) being the obvious exception. If I am being honest I feel there has been a bit of a PR move on this set on this forum and elsewhere from some that own these cards to pump them up. Not too many people even know that the T227 Brown card is anything special, especially in the Non-Sports card world where a lot of the T218-T227-T229 multi-sport issues are collected and hoarded. There may be more out there than you think when those collections get broken down someday.
The T229 Kopec/Pet sets are some of my favorite and infinitely tougher than the T227’s.
