But wait, there's less

Here's the rare 'Blue Sweet Caporal' Titus that just ended on ebay.

Somehow it slipped through the cracks: T206 Titus Blue Sweet Cap

"Plastic sleeve included."

No wonder it sold for $13.

I think David Mc.Donald is hoarding those Titus cards, even the reprints, as they look so much like him!!

As for the rare, Old Mill blue backed card from the National, I don't know if the owner is going to chance it at auction (if he still has it). I spoke with him at great length at the National and he was a bit unsure on how best to sell it. Private sale for "all the money" would be great for him. It's just a matter of what that $$ number is. Also, as I said way up in this thread....I think a lot of the value will be determined by this card either being included, or not included, in the complete back set for T206.

I'm curious as to how this decision will be made. If the card is factory cut, and determined to be legitimately blue, how could it not be included?

Wouldn't there have to be at least 1 more example that comes to light in order to include it?

It could be considered an anomaly and not part of the regularly manufactured cards. An error card in essence. I won't be making the decision. That is up to the die hard T206 guys. Doesn't make a lot of difference to me though I do have most of the backs of T206 I haven't really tried for them very much.

Thanks for the reply, Leon. I understand. It could be viewed like brown old mill or blank backs. Something not issued, or a possible mistake.

Let's say if I said the card is sold for a 4 figure amount. Would that upset a lot of people?

This is a sweet caporal back in blue writing. It looks authentic and came from a large estate of similar t206 cards which all look authentic. Any ideas on where the blue back came from? Card is T206 John Hummel, Brooklyn

What does everyone think?

Fish it appears to be a reprint that has been aged and the word "reprint" rubbed out on the reverse
