I made a thread soon after outlining my thoughts and to my surprise a few other examples surfaced – simply Google “T205 Yellow Elephant Net54” to see the thread that I am referencing.

Although this oddity is technically not recognized by any of the hobby publications or TPGs, I do feel that the argument could be made in the long run. Either way, I'm happy to see this card starting to get the recognition it deserves.

I'm a little surprised at the hammer on this because it is a superb example. Even got a boost here prior to auction end. Also an example of a card I'd keep in it's holder. As much as I don't care for tpg's, the gold borders really pop in SGC holders.

Something I'm wondering...does the strong closing price of the yellow elephant version have any meaningful effect on the price of the (much more common) white elephant version?

Turner, So glad you could respond. I hope you and your pops are doing well my friend. I wasn't super sure of the year but I do remember the conversation took place when I discussed the Graham Blue and Black sigs with you. I was super excited to see something new that was in plain sight for over 100 years. Lol. I believe between you and I there has been several new variations pointed out in the T205 set. Can't wait to see what else gets shaken from the Tree of 205's.

This board taught what I know and has more to teach than I could learn in a lifetime. I have always been curious and love the feeling of finding something new that has just been overlooked. Unfortunately I do this for a job too but the contractors are typically pissed when I show up for inspection. Have to have safe roads and bridges to drive to card shows right

For the T205 collectors that have been complaining for years that the T205 variations don't get the recognition that the T206 variations do it's nice to see an un-cataloged T205 variation that was "not listed properly" (it was in the top 10 in bids before this thread was started at 35) at a price that's already higher than some of the recent sales of cataloged T206 variations.

Is the “yellow elephant “ isolated to Collins?

Yes so far Collins is the only know sample with the yellow elephant.
