What's up with these t206 sold auction prices ???

[RCFire82]

Yesterday (Sunday) evening an Ebay seller had a nice collection of Old Mill and Cycle t206's for sale. It was a good evening seeing as I was able to pick up 2 cycle backs for my off-back set. For the seller it was a GREAT evening...
I was hopeful to pick up a few more cards, but they were going pretty high (at least much higher than I would have guessed). These two had me totally scratching my head. Any thoughts from the t206 savants???

Those were ungraded too!

P.S. Since Old Mill is hot I have a Magee Portrait in Old Mill SGC 3 that I'd sell for $20,000 if anyone cares!!!

I was blown away by some of the prices. I had like 60 tabs open, ended up snagging a few. I got the Krause Old Mill for my back run for like $67. Im glad everyone stayed away from that one

Old Mills are lower pop than people realize

I needed 7 of the Old Mills. I got none. I just can't seem to get used to these new prices. Even if I had the same money as a few years ago, I don't think it would have mattered. My T206 collection might be at a stand still till the zombie apocalypse.

Have you looked at the pop reports of those two cards?

We all sound like a buncha old farts: I remember when ___.

on the Devlin, PSA has graded a whopping 1 Old Mill (a PSA 7!) and SGC has also graded only 1, an SGC 1.5.

So, yeah, pop 2.

I was able to add another Cycle 460. I probably should have bid higher on the Meyers and Schulte. This O'Leary is not bad for the price though. If you look closely, you can see the Wright brothers fishing on the pond in the background.

Yeah, I ended up seeing the psa pop. report on the Devlin...but the Ames? Pretty sure I saw 6 or so just on psa. In general, I was surprised with the closing bid amounts for raw Old Mills in decent, but not amazing, shape.
Glad you were at least able to grab the Krause James. I picked him up as well with the Cycle back 👍
(Nice 460 RC)

But it was all because of the back. 😉
