Contentnea (Southern Leaguers)

Posted By: Eric

Just ran accross some real pretty Virginia and NC players with black and white fronts and "Photo Series of Virginia Carolina Association Eastern Carlina Leagues, packed with Contentnea Cigarettes" They are all Factory No.1 4th Dist., N.C.

Not finding these in my reference material and only one on ebay. Are these rare or of any value? Say $25 a piece (asking price for a lot of 10).

Thanks in advance........Eric

Are they first series(color,look kinda like T206's) or 2nd series(B&W photo)
I would be interested in Martin-Spartanburg from series 1 or any of the Greenville players from series 2.

They're all b&w. The one's I can remember for sure are Roanoke, Raleigh, and Rocky Mt. I'll let you know if the ones you requested are in the bunch. Any idea on rarity and value?

John,

I'll go pick them up tomorrow. I know a few of the names I scribbled down: Turner; Pritchard; Forque and Presley.

Yeah, they are pretty valuable cards. The commons normally sell for $150 on up. Here is a link to the old cardboard website which can tell you more information on the cards:

Thanks for the info. Now that I know their designation I will be able to research. I'm sure you are all used to this forum but I have to tell you as a new guy......it's awesome to have so much expertise at your fingertips. Thanks again.

I used the SCD to determine an pre-ebay offer on some E222s one time. I had never seen these before so I used the 2003 edition (only edition I had) which had them listed at $375.00. Even though these were poor to fair, I think I offered around $400.00 each. He thought about it for a couple of days and then decided to let them go on Ebay. If I remember correctly, Dave Levin picked them up for a song (smiley face here) (10 plus times my offer). Don't always trust the Digest.

Thanks. I remember when the 2009 came out, board members noted that many issues were not even updated from last year. So, I also now use it as "a guide". I would have paid for a consolidated version of pre-war or even one with no pricing at all rather than this 10 pounder. (Discussed in a previous post.) I have zero interest in the 90 ba-zillion modern cards.

By the way. Happy New Year to all. Thanks to all of you for what you have to share.

Well, they have to at least be worth more than $25 a piece. Got them this morning and one of which is super sharp. I'll scan in later.

Hi Eric,
Buy everyone you can find at 25.00.... If no one wants them I do...
Be well Brian

PS I emailed a few minutes ago, as would be happy to help you with pricing and scarcity of the players. Nice pickup
