This video showed up in my algo, I know my comment is a bit late, but just to clarify for anyone reading, to complete a true "master" set for T206, there are not 8,000+ combos as mentioned in the video. No card out of the 524 has every single back available. The "super print" cards (there are 6 of them) have 20+ combos (when factoring in the different factories), and then a larger portion of the cards have between 9-14 backs. A small subset (48 Southern Leaguers) have either 2 or 3 backs. Many of the cards in the 150 series (which were released in 1909) have between 4-6 backs. The total number of cards in a true "master set" is theorized to be around 5300. New front/back combos are still being discovered each year. Of course, a true master set is almost impossible to complete, because you need multiple versions of Honus Wagner and Eddie Plank, and there are many front/back combos that truly only have 1 known copy in existence. Additionally, the Joe Doyle error card is far more scarce than the Wagner/Plank, with less than 20 known copies. Great video overall, and I am happy to see more interest in T206, truly one of the most important issues ever
Somethign for the baseball fans, I'mnot even a baseball fan and still found it to be quite the bit of 'edutainment'. Ye old worlde video footage and jaunty music backing made all the difference. 👌
Haha. Yeah, I felt the music had to be this. Glad you liked this one. I think T206 would be interesting even if no interest in baseball, it's just so deeply rooted in sports cards history in general.
Love the video! I had a question on a drum back Walter Johnson (350). Do they know how many of those are known to exist? I was arguing with a friend and I believed those were as or more rare than a Wagner.
I think the drum back cards are very rare. I just was looking on the internet and found this on the Heritage auctions website that says only 2 Walter Johnson Drum Backs have ever been graded by PSA. So that particular combination is probably extremely rare: shorturl.at/dfHQY
@@buckstarhymes that sounds possible to me. I know that back is the first or second rarest of the backs. This article on PSA is enlightening. It says PSA has graded 114 drum backs of the 113k t206s they graded since they started registering the different backs. That's like 0.1%. www.psacard.com/articles/articleview/8498/collecting-researching-pricing-enjoying-monster-analysis-baseball-card-set-part-one-rarity-16-different-backs
@@scoa I clicked on your video because I just purchased a T206 psa 1 and was wondering more about the set so thanks! you made a really good quality video!
I got a Photo Copy of the holy Grail Honus Wagner T,-206. With the ink stamped on the back side and autographed on the front at the very top of the card which you barely can read I know it's off the real card...
I don't see the inks mark on the front also don't see the signature at the top of card ., this car don't look nothing like the holy Grail.... I got a photocopy of the real card....

Appreciate the clarification!
Well done, thanks for the vid!
Glad you enjoyed it!
This is an awesome video. Deserves so many more views l
Glad you enjoyed it!
It does seem like anytime I make a sports card history related video it doesn't catch on too much compared to other topics, which is unfortunate.
@@scoa you should send it to sports card influencers for their feedback
@@scoa Change your thumbnail to be more eye-catching for the one main card you want to talk about… Just a suggestion
I may have to try that. I've tried a couple and haven't came up with anything better yet. I'll get there though.
Best new channel out there!
Thanks man! Appreciate that

You were right. I sure enjoyed the video u recommend 👏👏👏👍💃
So glad!
Awesome

@@scoa Thanks for the quick response! Yeah I also read that there were only 250-400 known Drum back t206's? Does that sound right?

@@scoa That's insanely rare!!
I’m your 1k sub
Awesome! I was wondering who that was!

@@Zideonyt Very cool. What card did you get?
I got a Photo Copy of the holy Grail Honus Wagner T,-206. With the ink stamped on the back side and autographed on the front at the very top of the card which you barely can read I know it's off the real card...
Do you put your photo copy in a top loader?
@@scoa I didn't make this copy. The owner of the card made it 30 something years ago
I say the former
I don't see the inks mark on the front also don't see the signature at the top of card ., this car don't look nothing like the holy Grail.... I got a photocopy of the real card....
You talking about the Honus Wagner card?
Yes
