Default "Oh You, " Pinback questions

Hey guys,
I recently picked up 2 Oh You pins in a larger group of circa 1910 pins. They include Oh You, Phillies and Oh You, Indians. They are in great condition and retain there paper backing which advertises for "The Perfection Cigarettes".
I know I have seen these type of pins before, and recall seeing a Cubs and RedSox. Am I correct to assume they were made for all of the teams. I tried to do several searches for past sales of them, but have come up empty. Any ideas what these guys typically sell for?

I have the Cubs and sent my Red Sox to Greg Theberge a few years ago for his collection. I don't think they were made for all teams. In fact, the teams on this post are the only examples I've seen.

Regarding value. That, as always, is a difficult issue. The Cubs and BoSox demand a premium due to thier following and volume of collectors and will bring $150-$200 easily. The Phillies and Indians would probably range from $75-$100. This is simply an oppinion based on experience.

I think the $75-$100 price for the Indians is a bit high. Though you don't see these often, their relative scarcity isn't reflected in their price. Because of the small size and lack of "wow" appeal, I'd place a value of $40-$60, and to fetch the high end of that range, the pin would have to have its paper insert.

Here's my blue version of the Indians pin:

Edited to add: After comparing my blue pin to the red Indians pin above, I see that the fonts are a bit different. The paper insert on mine is for The Favorite Cigarettes, which might explain the slight difference.
