Default OT:Antiques Rdshw Allen and Ginter (last night)

Posted By: Rob Ray

Please excuse the OT,Leon. Wasn't sure where else to post this.
Last night's Antique's Roadshow featured an elderly woman who brought in several HUNDRED A and G's,along with the boxes they oringinallycame in.
MOST of the cards (that were shown)seemed to be in EXM-NM shape.
NONE,except one horse racing card,were sports-related.
Still,the "guess-timator" only guessed their value at several hundred dollars,due to their being non-sports related A and Gs. I believe some of them were even proofs,or samples. They ALL looked gorgeous.
Could it be possible that non-sport A and Gs,moslty in great condition,AND their cartons...numbering in the several hundreds,be valued at only a few bucks a piece?
I was just curious.
When I saw the condition of the cards,I was expecting an "auction estimate" of tens of thousands of dollars....I'm a little bit of a newbie with A and Gs....
