O/T - Yum Yum Tobacco

We all know how rare the Yum Yum Tobacco baseball cards are but how about the Yum Yum cards of other personalities of the 1880's, are they also very scarce?

Phil, August Beck Co. produced several sets, most of which are between pretty tough and extremely rare. We all know the N403's but they also produced the following sets

N398 varous scenes including 10 generic sports athletes (there was a lot of 8 in Mastro)
N399 Dances
N400 State Seals
N401 Children -I have never seen an example from this set
N402 Sepia Actresses (If you find a Yum Yum it is likely from this large set)
N472 Presidents (sorta generic feel, also made with G. B. Miller Co.)
N488 Litho Actresses/Women (Beck is one of many companies that used these designs, but they are colorful)
N489 Blue Border Litho Actresses (also produced by many companies, but less common than N488)
-Rhett

Related question: here is a non-sports G&B-- anybody know how many were produced or if these have a different ACC designation. I admit I don't know much about nonsports candy cards.

Thanks for the info, Rhett. What do you think of the N472's?

Definately tough cards, but there are tougher Yum Yum series.

Now that somebody has already bought the card on e-bay using "Buy It Now", I brought up this thread because I was looking at an 1888 Yum Yum Tobacco Abraham Lincoln graded a PSA 3 with a BIN price of $350.00. Does that seem low, high or fair to anybody?

Phil.
Your question would be better suited on the vintage nonsport board. Personally, the BIN price is on the high side. I've recently purchased high grade Yum Yum Prez cards in the 125.00 per card range, hope this helps.
