Drum or Uzit?

[cfc1909]

Ron is right on these A Drums-all were trimmed along the top but still very nice examples.

I owned the "crew cut" SGC Willis Drum for awhile (bought and sold it on the old Net54 and eBay) and it caused me so much pain just to look at it...I couldn't keep it. But I'm sure at the time it was cut it was not even thought twice about. And now we've got generations of kids who don't even take their action figures out of their packages because they are worried about future value...how times have changed.

JP,
I am the current owner of the SGC Willis card. It is by far the ugliest thing in my box, but I think the owner between use hated it more than anyone. He pretty much gave it away. For the money I paid for it, I didn't even think it would show up at the house.
I was able to add it to the HOF backs line for less than a VG American Beauty.

Ha! That's sort of how I felt....was it Larry who I sold it to and you got it from? I feel like $750-1250 was what it was sold for, maybe less. I don't keep very good records....

EDIT: Or maybe it was Larry who I got it from....or Elkins. Too old to remember.....

I keep reading that the market for tough backs is rising.I mainly collect T206 cards in the SCG range of 30-50,mainly 40 and was wondering what I could expect to pay on average for a Drum or a Uzit as eventually I would like one T206 in every back. Thanks CN

Less than a month ago, I paid $2500 for a PSA 2 Kroh with Drum back. My guess is that a common player Uzit in the same grade with decent eye appeal would probably sell in the $1,000-$1,500 range....but thats just a guess.
