T206 1/1

I would question the sanity of anyone that purchases that "thing" for anywhere close to 3K

Way to go Topps. Butcher your own cards and leave ones you never produced alone. This card now has less value based on every grading metric that exists.

I can't believe they actually stamped the card like this. And on the front of the card no less. Why not the back at the very least and leave the front clean? What a disaster!

Ok, but what will it be listed as?
Marked T206
2020 Topps 206 insert

While part of me hopes they only stamped buy backs of commons, I do worry there is a green Cobb floating around or something.

seems they can stamp a ham sandwich 1/1 and it would get bids lol

Really? Considering the ungodly amounts people pay for modern cards printed earlier this morning, that card seems like a deal.

What they have done is ruin a classic card. Common or not.
I have thought long and hard about it and I can't find a reason why I would agree that this was a good idea.

I guess you could do this to any set. Gold stamp it 1/1 and it instantly becomes that. 75 Brett, Yount, etc.
But leave the pre war cards (especially the T206) alone.

But has it been ruined or just repacked? This board is always talking about the future of the hobby and the future of vintage. Paddy Livingstone can do a lot more for that future as a stamped 1/1 inside a modern product than it can as a low-grade common that means nothing to a lot of people.

If you're interested in the future, this is how the future learns these cards even exist.

I read that there is a Cobb 1 of 1.

Original T206 stamped 1/1 or the 1/1 parallel with Ty Cobb back made as part of the parallel set? I haven't seen any mention of an original T206 Cobb buyback on blowout.

If you go to the original post #1 and click the link and then click on the far left link on top advertising the Topps T206 series 5 hobby boxes for sale, is where I read it. And yes I can't figure out how to post a link and should've posted that I have not verified this (Cobb 1/1). Just hope no hof pitchers aren't involved.
