So you think P42s will increase in value/demand over time? I feel like I've read previously on the board that some players are much more common in P42, than others.. But would have no idea which players.

Re- Cobb, I am only now realizing this is his 2nd toughest back. I was lucky enough to pick up 2x P42 Cobbs off the BST a couple years ago.

Okay; three T205 threads in the first seven. There is clearly a monstrous conspiracy afoot to drag our collective attention away from T206s. You guys should be ashamed of yourselves.

I'll ask a question that I could probably look up. Tell me all you can about the Dots Miller B and D variations. Is it a recognized variation now, which is easier/harder, backs, price differential, anything else...go!

[Mrc32]

Here are both those variations. I don't think they are recognized by the grading companies.

Mike there is a D over B for Miller also.

As far a variation recognition grading companies don't recognize it, prices are normal for all 3 and I think there is about an even number of all 3 especially after nationals this yr. The D over B seemed tougher but I found quite a few examples this yr.

Barry I think the Hobby no stats is iconic to the set and hobby and is the most valuable by far in the set. There are 2 Variations that are significantly rarer but not commonly known nor recognized by most. One is the Collins closed mouth yellow elephant with only 5 known to my knowledge and found by Turner Engle, and the other is the Latham HLC back with period before A that I found a few yrs ago and has only 7 known to me. A few even have an upside down W faintly found before the period. Example shown here for you guys that haven't seen it.

Interesting ... so I have a silly A. Latham question. I have an SGC Polar Bear A. Latham On Back card that looks like it has a very, very light "W" printed before the "A. Latham". I'm probably just seeing things. But if not, I assume it's a common printing anomaly for A. Latham PB backs? I've attached two pics, but I'm not sure you can see what I'm talking about in the pics. It's very hard to see at certain angles. Anyway ... just curious.

Yes they will and have already just about disappeared from collectors gathering them up. K White is a multi print in the 42's, as well as Phelps. What weird is players like Wolter, Brown, and Huggins that are found commonly on Drum, BL, and the common backs are scarce with Pied 42 and/or AB.

I totally agree that the pied 42 will increase a lot in value as IMO and from what I have seen they are pretty rare.

Would this hold true for T-206's as well? I thought I read somewhere that Piedmont 42's were a less common back in the T-206 set too, but I can't find where I read that, at the moment.

More of a collector created rarity as we are readily seeing in the 205 set. They were abundant in both sets at one time.
