Is there something I am missing as to why he would have this card at a thousand dollars? (it's not blue either )

Seller is a member here and just posted them in the b/s/t...he can ask whatever he wants but they are priced silly high in my opinion...heck, if anybody wants those same cards in similar condition for half his price I will gladly part with mine.

I just paid a record high amount for a piece of scrap T205, so I enthusiastically say folks can ask what they want to. I was just curious if there was something I was missing, like it being a short print, error etc....?

Leon I don't think you over paid a bit for the McGraw scrap. T205 scrap and errors are extremely scarce and hard to come by. I sold a ghost overprint for just over $350 this summer. As the set gets more popular the scraps, miscuts, and errors will increase drastically instead of trickle up. Just some FYI on the Crandall's. The T not crossed is the rarer of the 2 and should command a hefty premium compared to the T crossed variation.

hmmmm - are u sure? RE: Crandall T not crossed, in all the price guides I see that the T crossed is worth more, so I assumed the T crossed is more rare.

Andrew is correct. The Crandall "t" not crossed is indeed tougher than the "t" crossed variation. It's definitely a sleeper within the T205 set.

He's pointing to the crossed "T" in Otis as being a variation worth the money.

lol last week i bought a real Nice - VG - crossed T version payed 23.05 - if anyone wants to pay $999.00 for it, um or even half, $500, hmmm or even 1/4 $250, just PM me ROFL

On a more serious note - where does he get this "Book Value in NM condition with a common back is $1,325.00" from???

Beckett lists the card as $250, any clue where hes getting his values at?

He probably got it from the Standard Catalog of Baseball Cards. My 2011 edition has the same card valued at $1320 (page 472) in NM condition.

My records shows that I payed $40 for a Crandell (same version) graded SGC 40. And I over payed a little more than I would have liked.
