A question on Southern Leaguers (T206)

[Joshchisox08]

Brown Old Mill SL backs and I forget think they were taken from the factory floor or something and all HAND CUT.

SHAG appears to be the cream of the crop though. Wonder who he shagged to get that entitlement ?

I just read another thread about this. I don't know how to post it. In sure someone can do it.

Shag- Notre Dame Alum plus Canadian BB and FB HOF. International league prez for like 2 decades.

Foster and Ellam are tougher I believe.

In my quest it has been the guys from the Texas League. Took me a while to find a Bastian that I could live with and I still need Carlos Smith.

Ha. I don't know for sure but I think the name and he looks like a vampire had something to do with the premium. Although at one time someone could have been hoarding which pushed the price up and it stayed.

Not scientific but I've been active trying to finish my t206 set. Full disclosure that I'm not as much a condition person. I am fine with a presentable fair grade card.

....here's what I have seen.

1. My last 3 to get are Ellam, Reagan, and Paige. I've seen Ellam and Reagan more available than Paige, but the prices haven't been to my liking.
2. Foster is the most expensive aside from Shag, although he is more readily available than Shag. Violat seems to ask a premium too over other SLers
3. Others that have seemed difficult to obtain are Fritz, Bay, Carey, Lipe, Coles
4. In my experience the easiest ones are Molly Miller, Stark, Foley White, Jack Bastian, Thebo, Jimmy Hart. I've owned at some point 6 or 7 different examples of Miller and of Hart in the last 2 years.

Any graded dups of Stark ??? I've got a Reagan.
