I asked the auction house about this question. They told me that SGC had some way of determining they are T216. I will need to do some more research on that. Unless the team designations or some other determiner makes them different I am not sure why they couldn't be d303 or e106 etc.... That being said none of them took off in pricing. This is that ole supply vs demand doesn't equal value equation we recently spoke about (imo). I managed to pick up 2 blank backed ones and 3 other ones. I was happy with the prices.

At least for the Chase, it could only be an E106 or T216 due to the team designation of Buffalo. I suppose either version with a blank back is equally rare, however.

I only read the auction description for one of them, but it mentioned something about them being part of a find that included only T216's.

With all the NCAA basketball going on, I completely forgot about this auction ending and missed out on the Kotton cards :-( Even though they were graded authentic I thought they were good buys. Did manage this one I forgot about which appears undergraded and always liked the pose.

Hi Scott
Yes, I think that might have had something to do with the designations.

I know we've established that the M101-5 Ruth rookie is plentiful, but I'm still surprised how low this one went.

And I'm stunned at how high the extremely partial T206 grouping went. Goodwin did a great job of marketing it, but still - you've got the items graded individually and a ready-made spreadsheet provided. It doesn't take much to calculate retail value.

What is so special about Cy Seymour? I thought the Zimmerman was the nicest one despite the trim. Seriously thou, if you have 25k to spend, buy something more interesting than a Cy Seymour T206, jeez.

Thanks for the info Leon (but I will unthank you if you grabbed that t216 that I couldn't stay awake for...will remain nameless to keep the peace ;-)
