Sweet Caporal T-206 back question

[Archive]

Posted By: Dan Lundrigan

I just picked this card up on E-Bay and there is a thick red line near the bottom on the back of the card.I am new to collecting T-206`s so I don`t know a heck of alot about them is this card a reprint?None of the other Sweet Cap backs I have seen have this.The front of the card feels slightly glossy when compared to the other few T card`s I have.It looks legit to me but I am no expert any help is appreciated.

That's a normal variation. It's real.

That is the Factory 649 Overprint. It makes the card a bit more valuable than if it was Factory 25 or Factory 30.

This link shows the various backs in T206: http://www.t206museum.com/page/bk_reglt.html>

And here's a list of backs in order of rarity: http://www.t206guide.com/back_guide.htm

Craig,

Where did you get that list from? It has a few curious rankings. I had always heard/thought that OM brown was the toughest on that list (almost as rare as the Cobb).

Hi Scott,

I edited my posting to give a link to a list of back rarity that's more accurate .

Ok thanks. I wasn't trying to give you a hard time...just wanted to know if you had some 'secret source'. FWIW, I happen to agree with T206 museum's rankings.
