anyone else find it interesting
that the lot of 1200 coupons recently sold for nearly 3000. in Legendary? Best I could tell less than 5% of them had even the slightest connection to tobacco companies that issued cards and even fewer with baseball related themes. Many of them appeared to be for profit sharing and alternative redemptions besides premiums. Hard to imagine any coupon (no not a T card) selling for more than 20.00 - 30.00 (something like the 19th century Ginter album redemptions of which there were 10 or less) and most early coupons for the T3/T9 series and a couple of others that include colleges or S/L/R's and serve as checklists routinely bring a just few bucks. The other 99% are probably worth about 2 dollars a pound. Just wondering what the winner's intent is - it's not much of an archive and resale not really an option. The value a collector puts on things is up to them and I'm good with it.
