Default Help for the Caramel Knowledge Challenged

Posted By: James Feagin

I'm on vacation and just went to a random card shop. The owner has 3 1911 E94 Close Caramel cards. I am smart enough to know they are originals and not reprints. He has John McGraw, Byrne, and Turner. They are in P-F condition. The McGraw has a heavy crease and minor writing, as does the Turner. The Byrne has no writing and is creased. Still they are presentable and he offered them to me for $100 for the 3. Is this a good deal and will SGC grade card with writing on them. P.S---there is no back damage.

James

Sounds like a terrific deal actually. SGC will grade cards that have writing. My only concern would be if they are trimmed since they are not slabbed already. However I think that even if they ARE trimmed, this would still be a good price for three e94s, one of which being a HOFer.

I would have to think the McGraw alone is worth over $100

Sounds like a great deal, his price of $33 ea. is about 6-8 years old. All Caramel cards values have jumped lately. High book in the SCD is now $3,100 total for the 3 cards (NRMT). I lucked out about 3 weeks ago and got a lower grade E94 McGraw for only $11 on eBay, it was being auctioned as a T206.

With writing, assuming the cards aren't trimmed, an SGC 30 is about the best you can do.

For an E94 McGraw, I would jump on it.

heavy crease + writing = sgc10...unless the writing is a stamped overprint, then we're talking.

That was a great deal. The McGraw alone is probably worth a few hundred bucks.

Thank you. It just goes to show that asking a store owner if he has "old baseball cards in the back" sometimes does work!

Just an update, SGC just graded all these cards an SGC 10. I'm definately keeping the McGraw, still thinking about the other 2.

James- as I recall the McGraw was violet. If you have any thoughts about selling it down the road, please let me know.
