Question about T206 back pricing

cwazzy · #1 10-27-2009, 12:39 PM

Thanks, again, for all the help on this guys. And thanks for making a newb feel welcome.

I'd love to see some of your guys' collections if you have links. And if any of you guys have any St. Louis Cardinals with backs that aren't Peidmont or Sweet Caporal available please let me know. Money is pretty tight right now but I would like to buy a card or two every couple of weeks if possible. I'm in the process of trying to sell my modern collection (read: crap) to raise funds for this endeavor but it is proving to be a slow process.

Hey Chris,
If you click on the word "community" in that blue line right above the threads you will see several of our albums. A lot of us have websites and many of us have those listed in our signature lines. Good luck on the T206 back quest. For the difficult ones I am down to needing a Ty Cobb back (still not so sure it's T206 but that is debatable)...and a few of the really tough ones....BL460 was my last really tough one....and I picked up a very nice Drum at the national in 2008....

Letls not forget the Coupon Type 1 backs as well.

I was under the impression that Coupon backs were still considered a different set. I've been reading Scot Reader's manuscript and it seems like there is a good argument for both inclusion and exclusion of the Coupon backs. What is the overall opinion of the board in this matter?

The board is split on the Coupon issue. Some feel if Burdick catalogued them as a separate set, then that is sacrosanct. Others believe that the type 1 Coupons share so much of the same design with T206 they should be part of the set. There will never be consensus.

As best as I can tell, almost everyone agrees that if they were starting a catalogging system today, knowing what we know, we'd group the Coupons with the other T206 backs. I believe the issue comes down to if the ACC can be updated or if it is frozen in time.

Does anyone know why they were originally classified as a different set? And how do the prices of these compare to T206? Which back would they most compare to as far as rarity?

I'm open to opinions on this one: if you were me would you consider adding a Coupon back to my set?

Thanks for putting up with my newbie questions guys. You have all been a great help so far!

Chris
