upcoming Goodwin Auction...T216's

I don't know how Bill consistently gets interesting stuff...but somehow he does!!!!!

I'm especially curious about all of the t216's in the current auction ending thurs...many of them look hand cut...some have blank backs...which I have never seen before. What do you guys think about these? I wish there were a miller big glove in the lot...but there is not!

I thought the blank back was odd too. Unless they all came from the same original collection, how do you know it's a t216?

IT seems they all came from the same collection...but I agree...how do they know they are t216's? Unless the team designations are a sure fire give away?! Also look similar to d303's, E106's?

I've never seen a blank back T216, D303, or E106, so this would be a first for me. Should be a great auction.

If they are in fact T216's and not proofs or scrap of some kind, would it be safe to assume that blank backs would now be the new toughest back for T216?

Not that anyone really seems to care about t216 backs... ...but I guess that they would?! Then again Virginia Extra are ridiculously rare...and mino's pretty tough too!!!!!1

I wonder if they are printed on regular card stock or on the tougher thin variety?

If they are blank backed as issued, I don't think it would be too much of a leap to assume that they are at least as tough as Virginia Extra.

Wowsers...friends!!!! Some insane...i repeat insane hammer prices on t206 drums...i cant believe how wrong i was about a t206 bubble!!!!

In other news some great deals on t216 "scraps"...minos...i feel lucky to have picked up the crawford t216 blank back.[img][/img]

Congratz on the pickup

Nice pickup on the Wahoo

Love that one, Pete!

I got the Matty...this was a regular Kotton (not a blank):

Beauty blair...love the combo pose and tough back!!!

Congrats on the Matty, Blair!

Thanks guys!

I sure wish I'd have gone higher on some more of the t216's...esp the minos and other blanks...I net Leon got a bunch...great deals!!!!

It couldn't have been more than 2 years ago...a collector gave me 1K for a t216 common in nice g shape...times have changed...for now!!!!

Goodwin finally over?! Reeeee-dickulous!!!
