Seeking VERY RARE 1919 T213 Coupon Cigs Type 3 Factory 8 overprint

[NewOrleansCollector]

I'm a novice here and posted the thread in the wrong category. Spoke to Leon. My apologies gents. Didnt even know if the thread stayed so I did another in the correct place. I did speak to a few guys and made offers. If you were one, they are serious. Some look unbelievable. We consider these royalty in the hobby. Some I just didnt want to insult your intelligence with the offers because i knew they were either unaffordable or important to your collection. I know I wouldnt sell mine either. We "think" there are less than 12 total and only 5-7 HOFers left, Depending on the silent guys. But we do collect and buy often many of the New Oreans printed cards. We are pretty sure the Kottons / Peoples were printed in NY and distributed here only. I own a few of the larger printing facilities here and know that only certain ones were actually printed here. My great grandfather worked for the St. Charles business that printed, cut and distributed the Tango Eggs find. We love those, especially because so many people called the better cut finds reprints due to the glossy velum stocks, which are genuine and not reprints. Thank you for sharing the photos gents. Let us know if there is a specific sales price wanted on any you see or any here. Thanks again and I will start following this thread closer now that I see it is still here. Thanks Leon

Very interesting information, Chris. Thanks for sharing. The Tango Eggs cards tidbits are great.

What kind of price range are you considering? I have a factory 8 overprint. Are they really that rare? I have a Hughie Jennings PSA 4.

Ive seen the HOFers any where from 7-20K so far or lately anyway and the commons between 1,500-5000, but the Cobbs likely go for more. I'll message you

Those estimates on commons are sort of crazy unless they are super high grade (and then not the high estimate still). Someone might ask those prices but they aren't selling for that. Many of those listed on the bay have been there for around a half a decade. So I don't think you can say they sell for what those asking prices are. I think an overprint of a common might be in the 500 range today......maybe a little more or less depending on player and condition. Just a guess but closer than the above common estimate. These are some I used to own..( I guess I know where a few landed ....and couldn't be happier they are with board members.)
