Value of a wrong-back Leaf Paige?

[Rhotchkiss]

First, great card!

This one is tough. Normally, an error/freak card like this would have serious appeal to a certain type of collector who will pay a premium for the “oddity”. But this is such a major card, that I imagine many buyers would want a non-oddity.

That said, the Whitey Plank - a Piedmont-backed t206 plank devoid of color graded A - is worth many multiples above what a normal “A” would be. So even freaks of major cards can sell for serious premiums.

I don’t think the card goes for anywhere near $200k, but, in an auction, I do think if you get two guys that want an oddity of a legendary card, the value could go high. If you only have one guy, it could be a dud. Thus, the $20k - $200k range is not that nuts

Thanks. I was talking percentages at 20% to 200%, not dollars.

I love the front, but the back isn't appealing. I'd be more in the SGC 30 range on this card.

Firstly I think Ryan laid it out really well. The Venue to find out would be a high profile auction like an REA or Heritage.
In terms of an estimate - 20% sounds awfully low. If it turns out ot be a dud - I would think 50% minimum. 200% seems like potentially realistic optimism. SO I guess I'm tightening the range a bit 50-200%

Oh man, I totally missed the %. I think if it goes over 100% it could certainly go way over 100%. But I am not sure it gets past 50%. So I agree with the range that Howard set forth. The one thing I am pretty sure of is that this card will not go for 100% / FMV for a normal SGC 4. This card will either go for way more or way less than a normal SGC 4.

Not the same caliber card, but I remember seeing a signed 41 play ball DiMaggio at the national a couple years ago. I would have paid the ask, or close at least, but it had a wrong back. It didn't do anything for me. I would personally put it at about 75% but have no idea what the hobby consensus is or what wrong back collectors would pay

Agreed
It is very hard to tell value with a unique card like this. However, on a percentage I don't know it goes over 100%. Maybe. But if I did the set I might want a regular one. I guess as a type collector it would fit nicely.

Also important to note that the Leaf set is plagued with printing issues, bad cuts, and other production issues. Including mismatched backs. I doubt very much a misprinted Leaf would get much of a premium because the set has so many known condition issues. Love the set but manufacturing controls were really weak.
