I need a little help. I am trying to buy this card, and I know the red cross cards are very rare, this card is in bad shape, but I am not sure what a fair price is for it.
Please look at the image and let me have your opinion. It is much appreciated.
Thanks
Dave
ps. I do not own this card, and it is not for sale.

As I stated, I am trying to buy this card.
THE OWNER, and my self are trying to figure out what it is worth.
I put that in there so that people would not get the idea that I already have this card and try to buy it from me.
Does that answer your question?

My guesstimate would be $500-750
James
I would guess somewhere around $3000 give or take a little.

James and Jim's estimates aren't even close to one another. I know it is a rare card but it's very beat up with no eye appeal. I say somewhere in the middle of the two previous guesses.
Dave- the last times you asked me about values, I gave you my thoughts and then you offered them for sale at exponentially higher amounts. (which is your right of course)....so I will say $22,500 and good luck!!

Add up $500, $3000, and $22,500, divide by 3...and that's the value.:)

Leon - you need to know what something is worth in order to multiply it exponentially.

As a Cobb collector I don't think I'd pay more than $1500 for it -- which means it's worth $250.

You've got it backward Jeff. Rob D pays $1500 for that card. A month later, you pick up one in PSA 7 for $250.

I think $22,500 is way too high.
I tried to search for T215 HOF's, and I saw that REA sold a SGC 50 T215 Red Cross Christy Mathewson this year for $5875.00
My guess would be around $1500 - $2,000. Does anyone know how many Cobb Red Cross cards exist?
Just my two cents.

Tough card, crappy condition.........
Dewolf can't win both showcases, so I bid $2

I'd say the current value is whatever you and the seller can agree upon. Otherwise it's undeterminable (I don't think this is actually a word).

I'd say between $1300-$1500. As tough as that card may be, it's still very rough (and almost looks like the bottom portion is about to separate).

I know the card is rare, but it's just so rough looking. If it were me I would put the $1500-$2000 into the nicest T206 Cobb red portrait I could find. Personally, I would rather own a more common card in higher condition, but that's just my opinion. :)

Anthony,
No, not a crease, just a small surface wrinkle...or two....or two thousand. Sorry couldn't resist.
Hell, I'd take the card. I don't mind beaters.

$ 3 Bob .....er i mean Drew! (Sorry Tom, maybe you have an exact bid and will win $500!)
My guess (purely a guess) in that condition is $ 800

I'd try to get for $1000, then I'd try to sell it for $1500. After reviewing all the low-ball offers I'd probably end up letting it go for about $750.

I'd say about $657.97--ballpark figure, or $6500 as a Buy It Now on the Bay.
