N43
 

So am I the only N43 nut in this group? For my money, they're the best 1800's set ever issued. Just the level of artistry and the quality of the card stock. Do you agree?

If you have any N43's, I'd love to hear how many you have, and which is your highest graded (literally, or just in your opinion).

Billy Edwards still eludes me, but that's ok. Can't win em' all.

PS: Thanks Henry, for the heads up about posting here as opposed to the selling thread.

I love my Jimmy Ryan!

I really like the look of the cards. The Buck Ewing is on my radar to fill his slot in my HOF collection.

So far just have the key Ewing card. You just need one card including the baseball and non-baseball? That’s quite an accomplishment, dont see them often.

"Honest John" Morrell (sic Morrill) is my type card:

Wow, those are some really wonderful N43's, the toughest ones to get for sure (i.e. the baseball ones). Well, at least the toughest on your wallet!

Yes, I have 49 out of the 50 card set. I have run myself ragged trying to track down Billy Edwards! I'm showing my hand here, as I don't even care about being over the barrel at this point...I just want to finish this journey already.

Sorry to jump to $, as it wasn't the intent of my original post. But given I can't keep my entire collection, and occasionally things must be sold, I wonder what a complete N43 set would be worth in today's market. They come up so rarely. I haven't looked extensively but in my search for N43 cards, I have only stumbled across one full set sold, and it was by Heritage many moons ago. Something like 13 years ago.

Assuming my set is about a PSA 4 on average, any guess as to what it's fair market value is? I do plan on getting the set PSA'd, but have been waiting for the last card. Who knows how long it'll be at this point!

Wow. Heck of a set to tackle. That's awesome. Best of luck finishing.

I have several others
 

including Slocum and Fogerty

Just a guess, of course, but in that condition (new 4 grades or old 4 grades?), i would estimate based on APR sales listed in PSA report (should cross check with VCP), use $175-300 for the 44 non baseball, and $700-1200 for the baseball, and $4-6k for Ewing. They probably should/could be worth more since the pop report is 20% of N29, much scarcer. Net lets say $20k ball Park on breakup value, maybe a premium to that for scarcity and depending on strength of condition on Ewing and key baseball and others (tennis/boxing).
