Back on October 28th, the Fall REA auction ended. Prices were very strong across the board on rare T206 backs. In the days following the auction, I wondered if we were going to see a sustained rise in the value of tougher-backed T206s. However, in the six weeks since the auction ended, that does not appear to have been the case. Let’s take a look at the REA sales results, as well as some more recent sales from Heritage, Love of the Game, and eBay.
