Alan, Thanks for responding.
Derek, Again, I saw this auction a few weeks ago. I contactd teh auction house to see if there were 12 cards in the lot (while only nine were pictured) and to ask what the name of the Boston player was (I couldn't read the bottom of the card).
They never responded but did change the title to reflect only nine cards in the lot.
As far as condition goes, I thought these were a little rough. I knew the Beecher football card was rare but didn't know how much one in that condition would be worth. I was going to go to $400 on that lot (so that I could hopefully make some money if I decided to flip the lot) but it already had that bid online as of Saturday morning.
Twenty years ago, I paid $700 dollars at a local auction for nine Old Judge baseball cards that were in a little better condition than these cards. Of course, those nine cards included an Anson, Ewing, Rusie, Van Haltren and a Williamson.
Not knowing what the market is today for cards like these, I just wanted to see if I missed out on some good deals or be happy that I didn't overpay for things I could find elsewhere.
Thanks again for your ersponses,
David
