Hi! i recently acquired a small collection of mostly T206, T205, and T207 cards. Among them is a card from a series I don't know....it is same size as above, red border all around, and a black and white photo in the middle. Player is Archer - RRichmond, and has an Old Mill Back. Any ideas out there? Thanks,
A newbie

Hi Derek

Sounds like you have a T210 Old Mill. They come in 8 different series--yours being the second (it should say so on the back). Good Luck.

...if you are new at collecting, might I suggest you pick up Bob Lemke's SCD 2002 Catalog of Baseball Cards ... this is quite the tome for reasearching, getting a pretty good handle on item valuation, etc. It's a great investment and you'll be surprised how much you use it once you have it.

Derek --

The 1910 Old Mill Series can be confusing. I remember the first time I saw one -- I couldn't find it in the price guides either.

Since the Old Mill Series comprises eight different minor leagues, some price guides organize them in this manner. For this reason (a minor league issue), the Standard Catalog also indexes the series in the rear of its price guide (page 1412, 2003 edition). Your card (Archer) is from the second series (Virginia League) and has an approximate value of $80 in Near Mint condition...although I suspect that a strict NM card might sell for up to 50% more than this figure since chipping and wear is readily noticeable on the red borders. Finally, check through your cards to see if you have a red bordered card (Old Mill) with the name "Jackson" at the bottom. If you do, you're made a stunning discovery!

I have seen 2-3 for sale in the last 5-6 years. I think
they went in the 8k-15k range in average condition....but that has been a few years.. MW probably has a better idea than I do on the total pop. .regards
