As requested pics of cards from 1910 and 1911

I have a blogspot with scans of several of my cards. I really don't want to handle too many of these, particularly the Zeenuts as I am still awaiting hard cases for them to come in the mail. With regard to the silks, I honestly didn't consider them gradeable cards and cannot opine as to how they would grade. Obviously those are not in terrific condition as they have frayed borders.

For those of who have inquired, I do intend to sell most of these cards, but I am going to take my time. Right now I am reviewing my options and I would expect several months before a decision. However, I am likely going to go the auction house route, but may sell individually with right offer. I have had a few recommendations for houses and certainly would welcome input on others. Anyone familiar with Heritage Auctions? I have a brother in Texas who has the Christy Mattheson from my Sporting Life set who is likely going to add that to my sale and mentioned Heritage.

My father also has a set of pins with players like Cy Young, but I have no clue as whether there is a market for these or how rare they are. Again any links to websites would be appreciated.

You can find almost anything you are looking for with great information at Old Cardboard which I've linked to you a few times. Your dad probably has P2 pins (fairly common), but on the off chance he has Cameo Pepsin's he could have some very special pins.

Just took a look at your cards and you got a nice little goldmine there.

Now lets see those Mono's! :D

Very nice shape. A few of the Zeenuts look really nice (along with the M116's), the Obaks appear to have a bit more wear. You seem to have a mid to high grade collection overall. The pins sound like P2's to me as well as all your other card are all from that same era--do they look like these, with paper "Sweet Caporal" backings in them?

you have two different types of silks.

the white silks are s74-1. IF they have the cardboard backing, then they are "gradeable".....and fairly expensive. if they do not have the backing, they are worth between 20-50 bucks eack.

the colored silks are s74-2. they were not issued with a cardboard back, i would not consider grading those. still worth 20-50 each.

you can search "s74" and get some deeper info on silks.
