The card is graded as a t206 and t206resource lists it as a T206. Can you please clarify why you think it is not a T206?

This has been discussed in great detail over the years...the gloss coating...and the fact there is zero evidence these were issued in cigarette packs.

Not everything on the interweb is accurate!

Awesome find. I wonder if introducing 7 cards to the hobby at the same time with a previous pop of only 15 was the best strategy, or if it would have been better for the seller to release them one at a time, over time. This certainly did generate more buzz in the hobby though.

I think that there are enough collectors who want a Cobb back that the release of all seven won't come close to saturating the market.

Did I miss something was it stated how these cards are being sold ?

+1

And as Leon said, if the man who spoke T206 into existence says it's a T206, then it's a T206.

I'm sure you're right about that. But will instantly increasing the population by almost 50% hurt the value at all? Or will they sell for more because of the publicity?

you hit the nail on the head! obvious now they were distributed in the tins for a short period of time....similar to the polar bear pouch....that's why no other 206's found with them...and they are found in groupings....it was the only card in the tin probably.....

I will probably get beat up for this, but given that theory, I really don't believe they should be classified as a 206.....the gloss on them is the nail in the coffin ...

they are obviously a separate issue similar to how the 206 images were marketed on other issues like coupon , ect....

otherwise , or there would be other subjects distributed in the tin..


I'm sorry....I really don't think they warrant the ridiculous price tag! or to be classified as 206....

i'll take wagz or doyle ANYDAY over this hyped up non 206....

That is debatable.
