Default What are they worth?

Nothing -- they're just pieces of paper. But them so are twenty dollar bills. Why are they worth $20? Largely because people believe they are. (The US govt. would argue other factors, but they're unimportant here.) Collectors place high value on some cards, low values on others, mainly because they enjoy having them, and because they're pretty sure other collectors would support current prices, by the virtue of the fact that there are other collectorsss.

So, at last ... They're worth exactly what you can get for them, no more, no less.. Suggestion -- post them on the tobacco board and see what people might be willing to pay. The moods and tenses of T206 collectors are too fickle to predict.

Can you tell us why there are so many Sweet Cap backs?

Good question. Ordinary answer, mainly to get a conversation going.
