Speaking of T206 prices...what about in the future?
Posted By: Dave
I know I've spoken about this with RayB before. Curious as to everyone's opinions what may happen with T206's in the future. With the 100 year mark approaching in a couple years does anyone see the values for T206's going up? Maybe 10%? Maybe just the Hall of Famers? Maybe not at all?? |

I think a lot depends on the overall sports collectibles market Dave. There is also a class of collector that seems to be developing lately that I would call the investor / non-collector. I know several guys in my area that have purchased high value vintage material with the hope of selling it off in a few years to become rich !! Lookout world there will be a previously unknown honus Wagner card for sale in about 3 years when the 100th anniversary hits. Actually it is known, but not graded. |

they'll ALL go up...more than 10% too...even though there are more T206 cards out there than caramels, the demand is just way too high for these cards... |

I do think I could see values on the high end as well as mid grade cards going up some. Also think HOF cards could go up in value. I'm not sure though about low end 1-3's. I don't really see how the prices on these cards will rise. Also, not sure about a big jump over 10% for the majority. Seems like with the way prices have risen in the last few years, the ceiling for T206 may be a little closer to being here. |

My take is that if a Dem is in the White House in '08 the middle class will be able to better participate in the T206 and the pre-war market. The rich will always have the coin to own the rare high-end things, but if a Dem is in the White House, high end may hold steady. |

C'mon, i dont think a 100 year anniversary will have much to do with a T206 value surge. For one thing, who cares? the 100 year anniversary is coming up for E92,E93,E95,E97,E101,T209,T210,T212,etc,etc,etc. Its not exactly like being a 100 year old set is something special. Yes the cards will appreciate, but not because of hype, because thats what vintage baseball cards do and have done for several years. |

They'll be thrice what they are today. Not that it matters, we don't collect for value... Right? |

Dave, Don't worry about the prices of 1-3's. As the 4's 5's and 6's go up, the trickle down will raise the price of these cards too. Only makes sense if a 4 rises to $100, that a 3 will be 70. 4's are 60 now and 3's are 40. Just 2 years ago 4's were 40 and 3's were 28. It's all relative. Joe |

Joe's right...i have seen the "trickle-down" effect for years...2 years ago, i was buying 6's @ $90 & 8's @ $400...now 5's are at least $120 and 8's...well, you know the rest. |

Demand is the most powerful component for strong prices. Demand for T206's will always be very strong, stronger for T206 HOF'ers, strongest for mid-high grade T206 HOF'ers (EX 5 - NM 7+ grades). Buy the best you can afford. Put it this way, I am a good numbers guy, own my own tax/accounting practice, I have chosen nice T206's as my investment vehicle for the past 6 years - I am glad I havn't put my money elsewhere, i.e. stocks and bank products. Sure not changing my investment strategy now. Maybe real estate could be better, but no can do on my current budget. |

I have always wondered if 150 backs will ever get a slight premium over 350 series. For example, will a green Cobb S.C./Piedmont 150 be considered slightly more desirable than a green Cobb S.C./Piedmont 350 because it was issued in 1909 vs 1910? Sorry don't mean to hijack the thread. This just popped into my mind. |

I think that 150 series backed cards may be higher priced in the future due to scarcity. I know my brother and I have bought just about every 150 series card we have come across regardless of condition since 1991. We now own hundreds of 150 series cards each |

Dave, the last couple of years have been utterly amazing, as all the T206's |
