Heavy Action for tough T207s on Ebay Last Night

[dabbuu]

I would say Davis blue C is the toughest card in the set

[timn1]

My vote for toughest.

Donlin is not far behind.

Kutina seems to be everywhere....

Interesting that no one has mentioned Lowdermilk. I think he is seriously overrated as a rarity.

I picked up Bushelman and am now down to needing only five. It went for a little more than I wanted to pay but that is one I've rarely seen offered and figured there would be good action on it. I was pretty determined to get that one.

I kept my eye on Miller/Irving, two others I need, but more as a spectator. Prices on many of them, including those two, seemed really strong. Others, like the Butcher, were a little lighter than I thought.

Also adding that I agree with Tim on Kutina. I have seen that one pop up quite frequently compared to others.

A few tougher ones for the folks that appreciate how hard these are to find decent. I have them all, these are just the nicer ones.

That miscut back reminds me of my Reulbach:

I have a miscut Oldring/Bresnahan, but it's top to bottom not left to right as these two shown.

Sadly, Jeff's not the only one to blame, Tim.

How would you rank the backs for Ward Miller in order of rarity?

The RedCross is - by a wide margin - the hardest.

With that, my vote/opinion - hardest to easiest

• Red Cross ...
• Anon - Fac 25
• Cycle, Anon Factory 3
• Broadleaf

With a huge gap between the first two, a middlin gap after A25 and smaller gap to Broadleaf ...

That said, since none of them has any 'appreciable' population, this mostly talking about relative amounts of smoke.

Lowdermilk who?

Weird, but I don’t have a Lowdermilk. I just figure I’ll be able to grab one - perhaps I’m complacent. Doesn’t seem to be a rare card.

[timn1]

It isn’t that rare, but just because it has the reputation you may still have to pay a grand for it

I thought this a mythical card. Neither PSA or SGC (legacy) makes a distinction in their pop reports. Do you have a scan of the two variations?

[dabbuu]

They used to. You can google the brown version I will email you later.

[sb1]

I encouraged Bob Lemke to remove it and the two previously catalogued "wrong back" cards from the SCD guide many years ago.

On the various Davis C's the color changes from light to dark shades with various color tints, depending on the registration of the print and the inking. Not a variation just a print anomaly.
