t205 drum back

the with new group of t205 Drum backs coming to market, is it safe to say that Hindu is now the toughest back to find for a t205?

Jay

There sure have been a lot of new T205 Drums brought to auction in the last year or so. Same thing can be said for T206 Drums.

For T206's, the Drum back used to be a tougher back then the Uzit. I think with the huge St. Louis find last year, those two have switched places.

Not sure about the t206s. There was the huge group (I think 96 cards) that was auctioned off last year. I don't think there has been a find of Drum cards anywhere near that large.

Jay

Wasn't the one group of Drums a mix of T206 and T205s about a 80/20 split?

Lee

I think the last two find had a mix of 205s and 206s

Are these comming up for auction any time soon or being held ?

They are going to be in the next Legendary auction.

Jay

thanks Jay

between Hunt and Legendary there are 70 new T206 Drums in the Hobby. Not sure about the first Legendary find on 205 Drums but the latest one was 9. I think the new 205 Drums in the hobby are around 20 between the 2 Legendary finds.

My point is there have been 70 new 206 Drums in the hobby which makes a good case for Uzit being tougher. You will still have a very hard time convincing a hobby vet Uzit is tougher than Drum. What is fact, the 70 has drawn the total numbers in existance closer to equal numbers in the hobby of Drum and Uzit. I think there are around 300 each. I know 3 collectors that have what I consider large collections of Uzit-around 20. I don't know any collector that has that many Drums but I do know one that has 12 and 2 collectors that have 8 or 9 examples.

The recent Legendary 205 Drums were at Philly and I held them-each one had color added to the top corners. Ted Z. has a list of the players-mostly NY players. I remember a Chase.

I forget if it was last year, or the year before but didn't REA have a group of 96 t206 Uzits?

In 2006 they had a lot of 26 UZIT ungraded commons that went for a little over 22K
