Default How much for this t206 set

Posted By: boxingcardman

I think the set is fairly priced. The cards don't look completely chewed up (unless as mentioned above there is back damage to contends with), so the cost to assemble the group individually would be up there.

I wonder whether this sale is a distress sale. Glendora is right in the hub of the real estate crash in SoCal. Might be an interesting back story to this offering.

One of the things that I've long thought was odd about this hobby is the penalty attached to a complete set when it sells. Doesn't it seem strange that sets have break-up values often well in excess of their set prices? I realize that this trend is reversed to some extent with the extreme high end cards (like the sets Mastro sells as sets or singles depending on which adds up to more), but for a set like this, shouldn't the value be the break-up value.
