$25 card getting alot of bids because of the hype. I wouldn't call this a variation nor an error or every hue would be discribed that way.

For quite some time I've considered the Kling T206 a bit tougher than the guides suggest. So the price might be about right, but that is a super-sized load of hype.

Seems to me that Klings appear less often. He was a hold out one year, and I figure some kids and fans might have pitched his card because of that. That's all that I could come up with that makes sense. We see the same thing today... Scot Rolen is with the Phillies, a kid collects his rookie cards and all that follow, Rolen signs with the Cardinals, and then we see lots on eBay that each have a big pile of Rolen's cards.

keeping with the seller's anonimity... BUT... i have the feeling that his seller knows what he's talking about, and it may very well be worth more... the guy IS doing his selling best and hyping the card, as every good seller should but...

not everyone's trying to rip you off, and I'm pretty sure that this guy can do without your money...

I think you'd be surprised who the seller is and yes he has a lot of knowledge about T206 cards, having done extensive research and published his findings about "The Monster."

Didn't say he didn't know his cards. Just don't see the significance of a slightly off color back. Does a Cobb orange sell for more than it's red conterpart? If it does, I admit I am wrong. Sorry for questioning the seller. Joe

yes, to my knowledge, off-color cobbs do command a little bit of a premium.

I have found that Kling is tougher to find than most "commons"...this scarcity compounded with the color variation, semi-star of era and I believe he is Jewish all result in increased demand.
