Question regarding T227 Champions

Big80s · June 19, 2011 6:32AM

Regarding the 1912 T227 Champions set - is one back (Miners Extra vs Honest Long Cut) considered to be more rare than the other? I've read a couple of auction descriptions stating that the Miners Extra back in more rare - however, the Miners Extra backs seem to be most prevalent in T227 ebay auctions. I was just curious to know if anyone can verify that one is in fact more rare than the other - or if it's all just auction hype.

Thanks,
Jeff

I have not seen too much difference in price.... I collected the wrestler in the set and have both different types of backs.

Thank you for the response. If I went purely off what was available to buy - I would assume the HLC backs were harder to come by. But I was hoping to find someone well-versed on the set - as I know very little, other than they're extremely condition sensitive because they were distributed unprotected in tobacco packs.

On the 4 baseball ones, Ive felt there is no real premium for either back. All T227s are tough.
