10 lots of Woodcuts + 3 doubles for $650. Or, individually priced; see below.
I'll also trade for T206's, which is mostly what I collect these days.
The 10 include woodcuts of a couple of dozen hall-of-famers, including
Harry and George Wright,
1869 Red Stockings - the first professional championship team (includes the entire publication),
Philadelphia, Chicago, St. Louis, and Toronto teams, and many more. All but one are from Harper's Weekly, 1869-1890's, and are in plastic sleeves, unattached on cardboards, as I received them. Large as they are, they are difficult to package and expensive to ship, so I'd prefer to sell them as one group and have given a huge discount to do so.
But
if you'd like a particular team or player[s], individual prices are listed below. Big discounts for multiple items.
I bought these from Moushi in 2019-2020. I am very grateful and indebted to him for his research and scans.
[I am a dinosaur on the computer. I was finally able to scan these on my phone, but I still can't upload them here; the system rejects them.]
Here's Moushi's original thread, starting with his nine minute youtube presentation, which shows them all:
