Default T212 Obaks --collectible?

Posted By: Bob

Bill- Now that I have completed all 4 sets (less occasional upgrading), I can relate that the Obak cards are not only truly beautiful (great color and artwork) but still very underpriced based on scarcity. The 150 series back 1910s are extremely scarce as are the 1909s. Many 1910 (175 series back) and 1911s are tough, for one reason another, but most are available if you are patient. My advice would be to collect tough ones in lesser condition because they may not come around for a while again and you can always upgrade down the road. I know the Ten Million card in the 1911 set is one to buy regardless of condition and then upgrade. I owned 4 before I found the excellent one I wanted. Each time I sold a lesser one when I found a better one I was able to make money on each transaction. They are tough.
