Why did this T206 go for so much?

It can. I think there might be at least one well heeled collector (David Hall?) trying for a T206 super duper master set with every front back combination. Sort of a kin to someone doing a complete master type-card set. That would be craziness.

No worry. Talked to the seller and don't need to pay for it because of his error. I should have known better if he couldn't even spell Caporal.

Oh so you are the guy that outbid me, huh?

Hey guys,

The unique factor regarding this Lindaman card is not about its Factory #....it is the SWEET CAPORAL 350 back.

The following 8 cards in the T206 issue are found with the usual 150 Series backs (PIEDMONT, SOVEREIGN, SWEET CAPORAL, and HINDU).

The only "350" backs these 8 subjects have been found with are the PIEDMONT 350 and the El PRINCIPE de GALES backs (EPDG) **.

NEVER with the SWEET CAPORAL 350 back.

But, this Lindaman that just sold on ebay contradicts this front/back pattern; and, is indeed "one of a kind".....if it's for real.

Having said that, I am somewhat skeptical of the authenticity of this Lindaman with the SWEET CAPORAL 350 back.





** Note ...... the Schulte card has yet to be found with the EPDG back.


P. S.......I just read some of the earlier comments in this thread; and, I agree with Steve C. (post # 6).

At least a complete master type set is interesting. A T206 master factory number set is strange. There are so many great things out there to collect, it's just odd to me that there are enough people out there doing complete factory number sets to drive the price that high. The card isn't even real.

Edit: I mean no disrespect toward factory number collectors.

I find it impressive that two or more people realized that this particular combination was a probable no print. Must mean they look at the backs of all the t206's listed on ebay to see if the combination is rare or possible. Maybe the $150 bid with 3 hours left drew some attention to it?

Tony, I was thinking the same thing - collecting the T206 set has certainly changed a lot in the last ten years. Hard for anything to slip by anymore.
