Default Pricing type cards

I am starting to sell off my Dad’s type collection and am wondering what site(s) people would use to determine pricing. I have a good handle on the more common Topps/Bowman/Tobacco series but, I am finding an issue with some of the rarer types that I can’t find completed sales. Pictured are a portion of the type set to show some of the diversity.

One I picked at random is a Morley sports photo (tacoma tigers) that I believe is from 1946. I only find one mention of the set and that is an older net54 post about related items and not the cards themselves. How would you go about finding a fair price to ask for an item like this?

Any help would be appreciated.
Brian

The Morley is around a $100 -$125 card. I could probably help some with the pre-war II types. Not sure of a guide for them that would be accurate. The big Krause would have mosT listed but prices will be off....

I assume there are a few cards that should be graded, the E220 Ruth, the R338 Cobb. I am just starting to look at the others but it seems the Morrell Koufax cards as well.

Thank you to the couple people emailing offering help, I will probably message back in the up coming weeks as time allows.


back scan as requested.

I love oddball regionals, those are some nice Rodeos from this look. I think you have some nice stuff, grading might be a solid plan for a good chunk of the cards. The E-cards will be the majority of the money makers at a quick glance.

Let us know when you plan to sell. I see at least a handful of things that are really interesting. If the Seals stamp album is full it should do decent and the Harridge signed contract is really cool.

I highly recommend working with an Auction House if you plan to sell most/all of the collection. They would work something out with you with respect to fees if that's a concern for you.

Trust me, selling on your own is not easy and it takes a lot of TIME. If you have time, then go for it and do the research yourself and have fun doing it. If you don't, I would strongly recommend letting someone else take on this burden/assignment. There are plenty of people on this board, too, that can tell you what you've got if you choose to go about it yourself.

Feel free to PM me if you want/need recommendations for Auction Houses.

And good luck!

I am interested in hearing more opinions as to how many of these cards would need to be graded. Personally I don't have any doubts to them being authentic but grading them might be beneficial for others to feel the same way.

Overall this is a very small part of the collection, the plan is to use an auction house for the major items (in the past we sold a few with an auction house that is no longer in business). I am selling the type cards and topps/bowman cards individually just to mix it up and avoid the seller fees. To be honest I didn't realize that the Ruth card was in the type set when I picked them up.

The seals album has 19 of the stamps included.
The Player's contract also includes Connie Mack on the inside.

I would only grade the high buck cards you can likely sell most of the types on the BST right here and you will do just fine raw .

Brian,

The Standard Catalog of Vintage Baseball Cards, by Bob Lemke (I think Bob was a member here until his passing 1-2 years ago) is well worth the investment.

The prices may not be 100% accurate, but all of your cards and sets will be listed. You will be able to see one cards value in relation to another. This really helps with sets where only 1-2 past sales can be found.

Personally, I wouldn't feel comfortable moving any of my rarer pre-war cards without having this resource at my side.

Hope all is well,
Eric
