Complete T208 Set to be sold by Legendary in November

Take the one sold at the National auction, the 18 Legendary has, and REA's 15, and that's 34 up for auction in a period of about nine months. Now that is very strange.

Maybe it's all hype? Maybe the T208's are as common as Fleer updates....

btw, every time I say 25k you correct me, Barry. I think it might have been 20k-21k the last time one sold....and I guess that was still enough to make 34 more come out of the woodwork. I know one of them that isn't coming out

The one sold by Legendary Auctions in their July 2009 sale went for $20,400.

to the veteran t208 collectors out there, are t208:d359:e104=e92:e101:e102? i believe the e92s/e101s/e102s were all printed at the same place, just different backs for various distributions...can t208s/d359s/e104s be the same? i've never handled a t208 in person but d359 and e104 have a similar thick(er) stock than most other e cards.

q - you going to start hoarding all them e104 blank backs?

I hate to bring up this question and sound like some sort of conspiracy theorist, but is it possible that someone could take a group of E104 blank backs (whose fronts are identical to the corresponding T208s), and have the backs printed in T208 fashion?

If this were so, would PSA or SGC be able to catch it?

And to answer any questions, no, I haven't tried to do this, nor do I want to. E104/D359/T208 cards are too expensive for my sardine-sized budget.

I'm just wondering if this "flood" of T208s suddenly hitting the market might portend some hidden motives/shenanigans.
