T206 doc crandall with a uzit back

[Batjac1]

Hi guys,

I will be dropping this card off at SGC to get graded soon, and wanted to get some additional feedback from "the experts" here at Net54.

As I now understand it, although it is a common card, it does have a Uzit back, but it's also previously unconfirmed and the only known combination of the Doc Crandall with a Uzit back, it is also only one of three T206 players known to exist that can be found with both a UZIT and a Red Hindu back.

I had posted the scans of this card in my initial thread when I joined Net54 last week, but they are buried in that thread so I have included them here. The cards were given to me in 1967 or 1968, and haven't been out of my possession since. There is no "monkey businees" with this card.

I am a novice collector. I am trying to understand the approximate value of this card, and I am having trouble doing that. There is no frame of reference that I have found for a card similar to this criteria. I have spoken to a well known personality in the hobby who gave me a great deal of information and the advise not to sell until I know what I have. (Thanks, Jim) I have received offers to buy it, but I'm not in a position to do that without understanding its rarity and possible value. When I do sell, it will be via auction.

I am hoping you guys may be able to offer some additional guidance and might be willing to venture a guess as to its approximate interest and some sort of minimum value. I have heard values anywhere from $600 to $30,000 and I am at a loss to understand the swing.

Your help and guidance would really be appreciated.

Regards to all,

Doug

You are probably correct in selling via an auction as that will get you the market price for the card. That being said if someone offers you $30,000 for it, you might want to forgo the auction route.

I would give an auction estimate of 1k-2k ....but if you get an offer above 5k, sell it (imo).....

I'd auction the card, I enjoy the gamble.

If you are gettin a bunch of lower offers (1-2k) along with one offer above 5k, then maybe you should consider it. If you have more then one offer that high, then go the auction route for sure. Either way, don't do a private sale until you feel like you've had enough of the right people's attention. Posting it here is a good start... Not enough though. There are a few well heeled collectors going after a master set, IMO they will probably give you the most for it.

Thanks Matt- I appreciate the advise.

I see that Craig's T206 White Border Master listed this card on the spreadsheet as (YELLOW) possible but not confirmed.

It shows that this card was almost certain to be floating around out there.
