Posted By: <b>Glen V</b><p>Don't know if Eric's web site has changed since the first post, but it has a picture of the Stengel card. Don't think anyone could give you a price on what a one-of-a-kind card would sell for, just depends on how much two people want it.<br /><br />BTW, in case anyone had questions of whether someone had completed the set... In the Dec. 2000 Ron Oser auction, lot 587 was for a complete set (less the Stengel) of 29 Maple Crispettes. Don't know who bought them.

Posted By: <b>Eric Eichelkraut</b><p>I did update my Maple site a bit, adding a few other tidbits about the set. I also added a few card scans, including one of the backside.<br /> <br />www.freewebs.com/goudeyhunter/maplecrispette.htm<br /><br /><br />At the 2002 National, a dealer was offering the majority of the Maple set. I don't remember who it was, but they had all but about 4 or 5 of the cards (no Stengel, of course). I did inquire about the asking price, but can't remember what that price was. I do remember it to be pretty reasonable, but far beyond the amount I had in my wallet. <br /><br />I think I posted this on another Maple thread, the cards have seen a major increase in prices over the last year. I think a few major collectors in the field have recently been turned on to them, and it only takes 2 people to jack up prices. Commons in Good condition have been selling for $50-150 recently, with stars commanding much more. The thing about Maple's is that they're a very condition sensitive issue. Cards found in VG or better are pretty rare..and the prices on these go up dramatically. <br /><br />To answer the gentleman's question about Sam Bohne, he is a common player/card, but a common that isn't seen quite as often as some of the others. I'd say Bohne in Good condition should run around $50 or so.
