Posted By: <b>Elise Demeter</b><p>My grandmother gave me a set of these they come in a red box and still have the instructions for the game inside - there are 54 cards all in amazing condition. Anyways my question is what are these worth as a set? I will add some pictures soon.<br /><br />Thank you in advance

Posted By: <b>Jim VB</b><p>The 2007 SCD Standard Catalog lists the set on page 308. It's actually 30 different players and 24 duplicates with different game plays. <br /><br />They estimate the boxed set at $6650 in NM condition, $3325 IN EX, or $2000 in VG. <br /><br />It should also be listed in the 2008 catalog, but if you email me directly, I'll send you a copy of LY's listing. <br /><br /><br />Jim VB

Posted By: <b>barrysloate</b><p>Even the box and the rules are in great condition. You rarely find an artifact that old complete and that pristine. That's a pretty special item.

Posted By: <b>Bob Pomilla</b><p>Simply beautiful, Elise. Do want to emphasize what Jim said about handling the cards. Condition is all important, so do be careful. Good luck!

Posted By: <b>Elise Demeter</b><p>Thank you everyone for your awesome comments... I really had no clue what these cards were worth and honestly did not think they were worth much so I am sure glad I am doing my research before I just threw them up on ebay. <br /><br />As for handling the cards they are on lockdown now and are not being touched unless they HAVE to be. <br /><br />Like I said before thank you so much for your comments and for the emails I have recieved giving great advice I do appreciate it alot!

Posted By: <b>Larry</b><p>What a fantastic find!

Any chance you still have this collection for sale ?

is this still in your possession ?

You are asking someone that came on the board 5 1/2 yrs ago a question about something they probably sold 5.49 yrs ago. That person probably hasn't been back to this site since then. This thread is very old.

Great item
 

Elise had a great item there. I'm glad this post made it back up so I could see it. I wonder what it brought at auction?

I can't think of another pre-war set that looks so cool, yet is so affordable ...

$13K after the commission.

Thanks. Looks like she did well.
