What other T206 cards that are not recognized yet...

The Murr'y card is listed/recognized under the heading T206 Errors on page 485 of the 2006 Sports Collectors Digest Standard Catalog of Baseball cards 15th edition(and maybe many other editions and checklists). The one they have catalogued had a Lenox back.

Your card is a recognized error card as far as the accepted checklists go. Whether or not the Murr'y is as well received or appreciated as other errors is a different question.

Quite a few of them went in REA last year:

I can understand why you're interesting in these types of cards - could be terrific investments in years to come. Good luck getting your hands on them.

What I do not understand if they are not that collected why such high prices on them I mean the Murray sells for way more than the Demmitt or O'Hara variation cards.

Price history on the 4 known Murray cards (known) on Card Target:

Raw sold for 3069$ in 2003
My SGC 20 sold for 3175$ in 2013
SGC 30 sold for 4763$ in 2009
SCG 50 sold for 8812$ in 2007

I mean when look at these prices they are up there with some of the real good T206 cards even passing a few. This card comes up once every 2-4 years I bet if they came up a little more often the price would be threw the ceiling.

When I see such prices there must be a strong enough demand out there!!

Those are mighty fine looking cards and very cool as well I would not mind owning 2 of the 3 (the 1st and 3rd card) you listed. The double name on the jersey is by far my favorite I like it more than my Murray for sure.

They sold for super high prices there must be a strong demand for these.

Adri@n, the Murr'y card will go for more money than the Demmitt or O'Hara because it is more rare. Though you are right that sometimes if a card is too obscure it can suppress its price.

Personally, I think that they are fantastic investments and significantly undervalued. I am far from an expert in the T206 error card market and it's not what I collect, but the Murr'y/Nodgrass/Dopner are terrific and very rare as far as error cards go. With people craving everything T206 related, as long as that continues the cards should reach strong prices.

It would be mind-blowing if you got your hands on a Nodgrass and Dopner to match your Murr'y... just my opinion. Good luck in REA.

The Tinker in the third link is one of the ones I was thinking of. Only two known so far, and the first was treated more harshly here than the blue Old Mill.

The others are minor, so they won't get much interest unless someone publicizes them.

ah...it is all so clear to me.

i saw that card for sale for 5k on ebay. i was half tempted to buy it then but i assumed it would come down in price or i could bargian. boy was i wrong about that one huh.

still kicking myself about that. however at the time 5k was to much for me to spend. by the time it went to auction i could have bought it no problem and i ended up with the dopner card.

i almost didn't even get that one. my last bid was literally the end of the rope for me. i clicked and prayed.

watched that tinker go to 17k and cried.
