Steve Novella's PSA 8 T206 Auctions--A Market Defining Event?

[Archive]

As the six superprints from the T-206 set were all HOF'ers (Cobb, Mathewson, Chance, two Chase's and an Evers) and a significant portion of the next grouping of most common 350/460 T-206 cards are also comprised of HOF'ers.

You cannot look at populations in isolation without consideration of the distribution methodology of the T-206 set.

12 is about the highest pop. for a common card of a single pose variation -- although there are at least a dozen or more commons with PSA 8 pops of >10.

A Burchell PSA 8 sold in Goodwin less than 18 months ago for over $3,100 -- this latest example on Ebay was one of the softest PSA 8 prices of any common in recent memory.
