Hey everyone, I found a few things I may be interested in buying. But, I'm no expert on these sets. So, I was wondering if you could give me your opinions.
First, there are five old album pages with tobacco cards adhered to both sides of each page.
There are eleven T205 cards, all Philadelphia Athletics, including Bender, Baker, and Collins (closed mouth, white elephant).
There are also several T218 Champions cards. The other pages contain various non-sports cards.
Do you think the T205s seem legitimate based on the photo provided? What do you think the value might be?
Obviously there is chipping, the Bender clearly has a crease from someone lifting up a corner, and we don't know the back advertisements. If legitimate, I assume all would just grade as authentic if graded due to inevitable paper loss.
Next, I can't quite pin down what value a T206 missing red ink may have. Here is one alongside the normal version.
I couldn't find a comparable example. Do you think these seem legitimate? Would there be any premium on one missing red ink?
My searches online and on here didn't turn up much, other than a thread saying companies may have stopped grading them at one point.
