T206 Reference / Reflections.....Tuesday Nite Trivia

[tedzan]

I acquired a Magie card for my first T206 set many years ago. It was before the grading "craze" started.
I graded this Magie fairly as a Vg-Ex card. It cost me only $600 back then. Eventually I sold it to a good
friend. Then, when I started working on my all-PIEDMONT T206 set, I acquired this Magie......







The Magie card is only found with the PIEDMONT 150 back. American Lithographic caught this error quite early in their press
runs.Typically, their 150 series press runs printed the PIEDMONT backs first (on the pre-printed sheets of the fronts).





So, let's see how many how many Magie cards we can display here ?

Show-n-tell us about your Magie cards.

Fun thread Ted. Happy New Year.

Here is my Magie (sorry it's sideways, doing this off phone waiting for kid's wrestling practice to end). No magic story to this one- when I got back into collecting about 3 years ago, I went right for the t206s. First I bought a high-grade cy young with glove (my favorite), and this was my second purchase - just bc its iconic. I still think it's undergraded (a PSA 3) but what's in a grade?

It is a nice Magie, but I have to add that the Cy Young glove card is one of my least favorites. But to each his own.

Here's my Magie, purchased in 2003, about a year after I began the set:

Thanks Pat, for straightening me out. Sean, I think the cy young with glove is one of the ugliest cards around - I think he looks like a bloated bum with a big round head. And, I think that's I why I love it so much (that and it was the first big t206 I owned as a kid).

Hey Ted, not to derail your thread, but maybe in the future we could all post our five favorite T206 cards.

I think that it's about $7-8K for a decent PSA 1.
