I found a few cards in my basement.
 

Hello. I found a T206 collection in my basement and came here to share them with you. I have no idea how much they are worth or what I am going to do with them. Just looking for some information. I will take photos of the backs tomorrow. Thanks!

Link to photos

Edit: As you can see there are 10 pics of the front and 11 pics of the back. When I took the photos of the fronts I guess I missed one of the pages (the one with Doyle). I was able to get a pic of the back (pic #11) but at the time I took the pics of the backs I didnt know I had missed a pic of the front. I dont have the cards with me so I wont be able to get a pic of the front tonght. Sorry!

You've got a few thousand dollars worth of cards there, assuming that the backs are not totally destroyed. The green Cobb is the most valuable, followed by the Young and the Mathewsons.

Any idea who collected these? Were they in the plastic pages when you found them, or did you put them there?

Could you post pics of the backs...you will get a lot more info that way.

Cory

Great find in your basement! I would sell individually on EBay or consign them to an EBay dealer like PWCC (member of this board). If you sell as a group you will get wholesale pricing most likely as that person would break it up. The only thing I would find in my basement is unopened wax from the 80s and a bunch of auction catalogs!

Will take photos of the backs tomorrow. Just curious, why?

A rare back will greatly increase the value of the card.

By the way, I didn't see a scan of the Doyle. Is there one and I missed it?

Certain backs can increase the value of a card significantly. Conversely, major back damage makes a card less valuable.

That would be crazy! Too crazy, if it was that Doyle, N.Y. Natl.

If you got a "Joe Doyle" NY Natl with a Red Hindu
back. You can quit your job. Post both side of
The card....,, we are curious

Very interesting. Congrats. Would love to hear more about this find. How were they stored? How long do you think they were there? How is it they went unfound for so long? Who do you think they belonged to?

Do you have any experience with card collecting or this set? You seem to have some experience given the way you listed the cards, knew to scan the backs and fronts, and knew to highlight the green Cobb (in front of a T222 Fatima – is that a reprint or real?) and the Young. Best of Luck! Very cool find.

And who's on the Fatima card?

And what other cards were there?

pretty cool find.

Steve B

You found those in ur basement in card sleeves? Got to believe someone is going to be looking for those.

I think Love For The Game Auctions specializes in major finds like this. You might contact them if you decide to sell.

R0nnie L3hman

That all depends on if any have a blue Old Mill or green Sweet Caporal back.

How did you just find these cards in your basement, I don't understand.

Hi Everyone. I am at work, so I am sorry for the short response. I will try ro answer everyones questions when I get home. The cards were like this when I found them. According to my father, my grandfather was in posession of a Wagner card. You guys know who he is right? Again, ill provide more detail later today!

Edit: just to clarify, my father said he had the card but gave it away to a friend a long time ago. Also, I will make sure to take pictures of the backs later today.

Edit 2: Asking if you knew who Wagner is was a JOKE. Yes, i know you know who Wagner is...

:rolleyes:

Congrats to your father.

T206s
 

Why do I get the feeling this thread/story is going to be _________.

Yeah nothing to see here..

A dover reprint

Thank goodness the cards were found in the basement!
 

Thank goodness the cards were found in the basement, because if he had said "in the attic" I would be skeptical.

Patrick

Something doesn't quite add up here

But but but
 

...but the key words " grandfather " and " Wagner" were in there.....

..

" You know who Wagner is, right? "

Here we go everyone......

Too funny!! I got caught up in this until that post!!

+1

This looks like it is the same list provided to me in a scam I fell for about 4 or 5 years ago. I sent Western Union money to someone with this list and never heard back. I actually believe I made a post about it on the forums a long time ago. I am not 100% sure, but I am relatively sure...

Name @ bottom of post.

Yep, fishy.

This was a joke. Lol.

Woah, woah, what is fishy? What can I do to prove they are real?

Ok, it seems my last post has made everyone skeptical of whether or not these are real. Once I get home and provide more detail it will clear everything up. If I can do something to prove they are real I will. Thanks

lol :d

We are looking forward to it. Just be aware that everybody on here is very skeptical of a great find like this until proven otherwise. You will have EVERYBODY'S attention and you will get great information as well as being flooded with offers through private messaging after you have been vetted. You will also have a few knuckleheads that will beat you over the head no matter what comes of this so have some thick skin when they chime in. If these are on the up and up, you've come to the right place as there are more experts on this board than you will find anywhere else. If they are stolen or if this is a scam, you will get grilled.

Rob M.

No, no I don't. Who is he?

Simple suggestion:

With your first card sleeve in the picture, the lower right hand card sleeve is empty. Write "emd023" on it with a sharpie, slap the entire page on top of your local newspaper just under the date. Take that picture and post it. That will take care of many concerns. The only thing left is: do you legally own them.

#justryingtohelparoundhere

Fatima
 

So, what is that Fatima card? Can you please show a scan of the front?

Thanks

Can't wait to see your extremely valuable jeter autographed ball .

He does have a scan of the Fatima card, the last scan in the album. It's Vic Saier. (See link below.) You have to click "Load 5 more pictures" at the bottom in order to see all of the pictures, which a lot of people are apparently not doing.

I snapped more pics at lunch today. Ill post them when I get home and shut you skeptics up.

Done. Will post when I get home.

Speaker
 

That Tris Speaker looks "Certified High End"
Just sayin...

I call BS on this...

When you take that picture for proof, just make sure that it doesn't look anything like this one:

Seriously though, it would be fun if this checks out. To the OP, people come on this board frequently (not to mention Ebay, Craigslist, etc) and try to scam collectors so we have a knee-jerk reaction to big finds by new people. Here's hoping that you have something good!

(edited due to good info given.)

Thanks, Leon!

+this was hilarious.

I'm showing the yellow card for this thread. Sounds like big ranch no cattle.

Ha-ha that is a great comment.

Thanks David. The OP and I just had a great 15 minute chat on the phone number given after the fact. He is now unbanned. He didn't realize how big of a deal total anonymity is on this board (and giving false registration info). Suffice it to say he does now. I don't think he took it personally either. He has some great cards and there are reasons he doesn't really want all of his info in public, so once verified, all public info was taken down. Being private is ok per the rules.. And I wish him good luck too!!

Posters are talking like pics were posted, but I don't see any. Am I missing something?

Link to photos in first post.

Something seems a little fishy to me as well. And lack of knowledge of the set in particular.

If one knows they're t206 how do they not know that they're worth a decent chunk of change?

I could be wrong but if you knew the story it is more believable. I think he is checking on them for a relative. That is really all I can say about it but if he wants to come back and explain more he can. I do think they are real and are close to him. It's not a random troll situation, I don't think. Like I say, I wish him the best. And btw, if he comes back I see no reason he can't only have his user id out here. He picked up the phone when I called :).

Judging from the scans I just saw, I agree the cards def look legit. Just the story is so surreal, almost eBay esc :D

T206 Find
 

The cards look real to me but I did not see the Doyle NY Natl. I believe that was the card on the list that got everyone's attention.
Nice Find
Congrats
John P

And I guessing that is a huge plus! Real phone number!! Im sure you get a lot of bogus ones Leon.

Some basements are better than others .

Sean, I don't believe your list is the same as the "basement find". I sorted your list and then tried to post them side by side. This is much easier in Excel then on the board! I highlighted the cards that are different in the "basement find". I didn't go through the whole list and make the differences in bold, just the first 10, but you get the idea.

Very cool. You came to the right place to get some info and advice.

First off I will say I know very little about T206 cards. Second I will say they all look fuzzy and out of focus like counterfeit cards. Never seen a real Piedmont back with stray printer dots like those appear to have.

Cards look legit to me, very nice. I am just curious at this point to the story behind them. Who finds T206s in plastic sleeves in their own basement? Who's cards were they? Again, best of luck.

100% real - and awesome - great find!

I'm guessing that's from the low image quality, plus the fact that (I'm guessing) you're looking at it on a relatively large screen. That image is only 574.19 kb, so it was probably taken with an older cell phone. When it's blown up on a computer screen, it's going to look fuzzy, especially in the parts where the camera wasn't focusing. I would want to see scans rather than a cell phone picture before coming to any conclusions.

Congrats on the find! :)

Although I don't collect pre-war cards, I am looking forward to following this thread as it unfolds.

Oh, that poor Tris Speaker card! That hurts to see!

Yeah :( who did that??

I want it! Lol

Updated gallery with backs

Also updated the link on the first page.

As you can see there are 10 pics of the front and 11 pics of the back. When I took the photos of the fronts I guess I missed one of the pages (the one with Doyle). I was able to get a pic of the back (pic #11) but at the time I took the pics of the backs I didnt know I had missed a pic of the front. I dont have the cards with me so I wont be able to get a pic of the front tonght. Sorry!

I found these cards in my basement. They were collected by my Grandfather and passed down to my father where they were forgotten for a long time (until I found them). I didnt know they existed until I found them. My father said that my Grandfather did have the Wagner card a loooong time ago however he gave it away to a friend :(.

The cards were packaged like this when I found them. I have not modified them in any way. I am not sure what I am going to do with them. I did collect cards when I was younger. I have a big box full of baseball, football, and basketball cards from the 70s, 80s, 90s but I havent bothered with them for years.

Those pictures look much better. I take back my fuzzy look like counterfeit statement.

All together now!

We're sorry...


In all seriousness, bud, great find. I, like many others, are very interested in the full story behind these cards. Also, I don't know if you have kids or not, and I know you're not a huge card collector, but if you don't need the money at this particular moment in time, I'd hold onto them and pass them down to your kids, and their kids, etc. Not only will they only increase in value (invest in proper protective gear), but they will be a great family "treasure".



P.S. I didn't look at the pictures, but is the Doyle in there? If so, congrats on retirement.

It's all about the Joe Doyle N.Y. Nat'l....would love to see a pic of that tomorrow.

Guys, it could be this Doyle, NY Natl. Or the one. Or who knows what.

Cmon seriously? All Larry Doyles are NY Nat'l. Of course that's what we're dealing with here. I'm more interested in seeing the Matty

<a data-flickr-embed="true" href="https://www.flickr.com/photos/88846413@N04/29410764540/in/album-72157673816631826/" title="Doyles from Pittsburgh"><img src="https://c5.staticflickr.com/9/8366/29410764540_26bace022c_o.jpg" width="604" height="416" alt="Doyles from Pittsburgh"></a><script async src="//embedr.flickr.com/assets/client-code.js" charset="utf-8"></script>

I am sure you are right.

The two Mattys are pictured in his gallery photos.

Well, his list doesn't specify that it's a Larry Doyle; it just says "Doyle, N.Y. Nat'l". In theory that could be any of the three Larry Doyles or the rare Joe Doyle, though I agree that it's unlikely to be the latter.

Ah yes, see them now. Thanks!

I may be wrong, but I'm pretty sure I've seen the green Cobb or another T206 posted before on the internet with these stickers on the back.
