Posted By: <b>martindl</b><p><br />I went to an Estate sale this a.m. - was looking through a bunch of paper items and old photo's and struck up a conversation with an old feller next to me.<br /><br />"Looking for anything in particular?" says he. "Sports stuff mainly and old tobacco cards" says I. "I just sold a group of those old small baseball cards last week, the tobacco kind - had about a hundred of them and got a great price" he goes on to tell me - "yep, I bought them for $30 and got $200 for them - Ty Cobb was in there but no Babe Ruth - I'd have kept the Ruth ones because I know they'd fetch a pretty penny. Some were white, some were gold and some were red ".<br /><br />At that point i didn't want to know anything about condition, etc. I already had much more info than i wanted........<br /><br /><br /><br />

Posted By: <b>barrysloate</b><p>He said he made an offer of $30 for a hundred tobacco cards. That's thirty cents each, including a Cobb. And then he was just as stupid and sold them for $200 giving them away too. Why would either of these transactions ever have taken place? Possible but unlikely.

Posted By: <b>Joe Jones</b><p>Plus he saved the Ruth cards? Dont you think if he knows about Ruth's Value he would also know about Cobb's value <img src="/images/happy.gif" height=14 width=14>
