Posted By: <b>leon</b><p>Who is the player and what does the card entail? In other words does it have the outer frame AND the negative, or is it the plain photo? I have 1-2 and a few unopened ones too...<br><br><br><img src="http://luckeycards.com/phuncclopayunopened.jpg" alt="[linked image]">

Posted By: <b>leon</b><p>Probably $50-$75....In better times add $20 to it. Just my opinion...

Posted By: <b>leon</b><p>Derringer was certainly a star player (*6 all star teams) but without the frame I would put the value at about $20-$35....The frames are very important, from my experience. These come up so rarely for sale my estimates are just guesses....but I do think they would be close...regards

Posted By: <b>Rhett Yeakley</b><p>I disagree a bit with Leon on pricing for this issue (I feel he is a bit low based on ones I have sold & seen sell), but he is not entirely out of line.<br>-Rhett

Posted By: <b>leon</b><p>I paid $75 and $88 for 2 commons in vg last year......That is where I came up with my numbers. I would put them a tad higher in a better economy, as mentioned. And as I said, mine were guesses based on the few sales I have done....thanks for the feedback. It's always appreciated. besst regards<br><br><br>edited to add that if I saw one of these listed at $125-$150 (retail) it wouldn't shock me.

Posted By: <b>dstudeba</b><p>I don't see these often, and would side with Leon on this one as I sold one last year for below $100.

Posted By: <b>Rhett Yeakley</b><p>Leon & Dan, I think we are actually in agreement on these. I think the $50 price for a framed one is a bit low (especially if the frame is somewhat nice w/o rips or paper missing), I would say more like $80-120 with my low estimate being roughly your high estimate. <br><br>I do feel the ones sans frame are going to set you back more than $20 though. I will buy all you have at that price. This (I feel) is one of those sets that doesn't have the biggest price difference between a common and a star and I feel there is probably a $40-or-so "starting point" just due to the difficulty in finding them. If someone is looking for a particular player or team, etc. the likelyhood of being able to shop around or wait for the next one isn't really high, so there is a higher starting point, even thouh I don't believe HOFers are going to be 3-4X the common price that I just quoted even though that tends to be the conventional multiplier.<br><br>-Rhett

Posted By: <b>Jim</b><p>does this mean I won't get the Lou Fette for under $30 on epay?

Posted By: <b>leon</b><p>Yes, if that card has the frame around it and is in the correct category, it means you will not get it for $30. I would double or triple that number....but you have seen the responses yourself. take care

Posted By: <b>dstudeba</b><p>I would say that is a good summary Rhett.<br><br>If you got it for under $30 I (and others) missed it. It is a neat underappreciated issue.
