By far, my favorite images! The guy (I'll assume it's a guy) who purchased the Legendary t208 overpaid by a bunch. If REA sells them as individual lots, I would guess they go under $10k for a common even in EX condition.
Rman- your numbers sound right. I know of one other complete set and two other guys who have 1 example. Very tough, but obviously obtainable if you are patient. Wes... I was gonna say that. I think the d359's and e104's have been beaten down lately, but they will do OK in the future. It should be a more popular set in that it has a great set of images, players, and they are available in bread, tobacco, or candy form. Unfortunately, this is as close as I will come to a t208...

Wow, DK! A third complete set and a few more stragglers out there. I think Jay Behrens had around 6-8 of them as well? Sounds like I was a little low on my estimate of the T208 population.
I think typically we double what is known so if there are around 4 of each known, the total that exist may be around 8 of each card? That is a small number, but certainly not as tough as some of the other neighboring T-sets: T214 Victory T215 Pirate T216 Virginia Extra maybe even T215 Red Cross T216 Mino

The population for any given card in the T208 set might be higher than singles from the other rare sets, but because the T208 set is smaller (18 players), the overall population for the T208s is lower.
So many of the T208s are in the complete sets, that in order for type collectors to find a single example, they really had to pay super high prices in the past. It will be interesting to see if this is still the case with the introduction of so many into the marketplace in the next few months.

Ah, yes. The old arguement of type collector vs. player collector. If all you want is the back, then you have to pay through the nose. If you care about what is on the front, then you have to overpay because of those crazy back collectors.
What kind of bizarro world is that. A Ty Cobb card from a set of 15, where there are 10 known of each will cost me more than a Ty Cobb card from a set of 200 where there are only 2 known of each. Nuts.

So is this the first complete set to surface for sale since the mid 90s sale of Don Steinbach's set? Is this Steinbach's set?

I, too, experienced the pleasure of drooling over this T208 set at the Philly Show. From talking with Ron Oser and from something I read (I can't recall exactly what it was) at the Legendary booth, I got the impression that these cards will be auctioned individually. So, I will dream of adding one of these cards to my type collection, that is, until the the time that the actual bidding exceeds my budget!
