T210 market

Anyone have a handle on the T210 market? I recently purchased one slabbed g-vg on Ebay for $18.50, then I see others sail over my pocketbook at well above $100. Is it the series or what?

series is definitely a factor in the value of t210's...as others will surely chime in. I'm not a collector of t210's...but I believe the more scarce cards are the series 8,6, 7, 5...and the rest are foggy to me. Series 8 is the scarcest...also including the Joe Jackson RC which is off the charts!

My sense is that the two scarcest series are 8 and 7. Series 6 is not far behind. After that I would rank the series as follows: 4, 5, 1, 2, 3. In most series there are some very scarce cards which are scarcer than an "average" card in series 7 or 8.

While I hold Jay in high regard, as well as his insight into old cards, I think that series 8 and series 6 cards are quite close together in difficulty.

Series 8 cards contain many more players who had been or were headed for the majors. Collectors of the day would have been more likely to retain those cards. Series 6 cards have few major league players, few players that went very high at all... those cards would have been subject to a higher rate of contemporary discarding.

Even today, I think there are more collectors of series 8 than there are series 6. And pointing out the difficult Jackson in series 8 can't be fairly done unless mention is made of Charles Dillon Stengel's card with Maysville Kentucky in series 6.

As far as prices, I agree that series 8 cards will cost a bit more, because more folks are taking a stab at collecting the set, the series, or at least the cards of a particular city.

6, 7, and 8 series collectors are in for a long trek. And it seems to me that there are a few cards in each of the series that aren't as plentiful as the others. Goostree leaning on a bat comes to mind in series 6.

Series 3 cards can be found without much difficulty. Series 1 and 2 are about as easy to locate. I think putting any of these 3 series together could be accomplished with money and 4 or 5 months of searching eBay and card dealers. Series 4 and 5 are a bit more difficult.


Isn't it refreshing to see a thread where all of the posts are actually about baseball cards, instead of people, grading, politics, and worse??

It is a great privilege to have an expert's opinion at one's fingertips.

Speaking of T210's, did anyone here pick up Lot 1133 in the most recent Mastro auction? I know there was an Angermeier ( fielding) and was curious about its general appearance? Is it the highest known graded example?

Bill, thanks for that post...

We need to find the winner of that lot. I lack Angermeier fielding and Whitaker, both of whom were in the lot.

If the winner is out there, please post!!!
