Default 1894 Alpha Engraving

Posted By: Lyman

Jimi, you make a good point about the value of the Alpha cards. Please keep in mind, however, that the estimated value shown on the Old Cardboard website is for a card of a common player in VG condition--not the Brouther (HOF) card shown in the example. Also, it is anybody's guess what cards from the set would sell for since none have sold in a number of years. Few collectors would argue that Dan (the owner of the only known cards from the set) is not setting on a gold mine, given recent prices for rare type cards, and especially ones so appealing and of such historic significance. We will therefore probably be increasing our value estimate for cards from the set with the next update to our database.
