[Archive]

Posted By: Jim Ganley

Hello,

My Great Grand Father (Robert S. (Bob) Ganley) played on the 1909 Washington Senators Team along with Walter Johnson and other Hall of Fame players. I have his original Barr-Farnham Photo Post Card Co. Player Album of the 1909 Washington Bass Ball Club which was presented to each player on the team and includes original photo post cards of the entire Team, the Manager, the Trainer and individual photo cards of all the players which include:

I plan on selling this Photo Post Card Album along with other original Post Cards and Photo's that used to belong to my Great GrandFather. I have many Original Photo's, all of which have been loaned to the Baseball Hall of Fame in Cooperstown, NY who made copies for their Library since they had very little of the 1909 Washington Team.

I am also planning on selling my complete, graded set of T206 Washington Senators tobacco cards:

I was planning on listing these items on eBay but I would like your opinion as to how I should proceed with placing these items up for sale. Is eBay my best option? Should I try selling the T206 cards as a Set or would you recommend selling them seperately?

I would be very greatful for any advice and suggestions you might have for me. I am not a "collector" so I'm trying to get a feel for the value of these items.

If you like, I can send you pic's of any of these items.

Thank You,
