Gary B."Does anyone know how are the prices for these drawn twenties strip cards compared to the photo twenties strip cards? I think they are kinda quaint."
All I know is I depend on the old cardboard site to find out (at least) what the value of your average common card is for any given strip card series, and I watch ebay to guage the range that the star/HOF players sell for. I guess the prices determined are all market driven, but very often I can't see any rhyme or reason why one issue is more valuable then another. It may have to do with how available they are, whether its a photo or drawing, but often I'm surprised. I do know that almost any strip card that's in a holder with a high grade commands significantly more money than anything else in the strip card world, and that (as it would stand to reason) Ruth, Cobb and Gherig are more expensive then any other player (oh yeah, throw Buck Weaver in there too), but then you can also get Hornsby, Speaker and any other major hall of famer for that's not one of those players for next to nothing. It's quite puzzling to me.
BTW, I thought the drawing cards were kind of quaint too until I got some. Now I think they're kind of ugly. Don't get me wrong, I still like them, but they can't hold a candle to the photo issues IMHO.
