Bob is right about the degrees of rarity. Back in the late 80's early 90's T210's were the "redheaded step-child" of pre war tobacco cards ( that an Obaks). Differing degrees of rarity in each of the 8 series started to become evident as more collectors tried to put the set together as best they could. Series 6,7,and 8 cards are tougher to find in my opinion. I just looked at my old notecards from the the year 1993 and found an entry my brother or I had made when we had bought a lot of T210's off of Teletrade and another lot at an estate sale in Indianapolis. the teletrade lot was 12 cards in VG-VG + ,that we won for $60. all were series 1, and 2. The Indianapolis lot was 22 cards all in VG for $178 and contained all series 13 series 1 cards , 1 series 3 card, 1 series 4 card, 2 series 6 cards, and 5 series 7 cards all purchased. an interesting note: at the same estate sale we bought a Cobb bat off shoulder for $185 that was later graded PSA 3 and a Mathewson portrait for $40 that was graded a 2.
