T210's On Ebay

[Tsaiko]

In trying to get a ballpark figure on what 210's are going for today, I went on ebay and searched T210 Old Mill.

Not one bid, as all the auctions are buy it now or buy it now/best offer only. The BIN prices are what I wish I could get for the 210's and I seem to remember the same cards up on ebay a couple of months ago. So my question is what's up with the no bidding option on these particular tobacco cards?
Can someone recommend a past auction or some place else where 210's were sold recently.
tia,

Speaking of ballpark figures, a man recently asked me how much I paid for my drought resistant landscape. I didn't think it was any of his business, so I said the contractor was a friend and I wasn't comfortable quoting his rates to a stranger. The man said, oh come on, at least give me a ballpark figure. I said ok, bottom of the ninth, score tied, basses loaded with two outs and a full count, but I don't know how that's going to help you. After glaring at me, with malice, for a few seconds, he left me alone. True story.

so are you looking for the same type of ballpark figure you gave that guy? If so...t210's are worth more than 1980's topps commons...and less than t208 commons.

I think Karma just slapped me upside my head.

on the T210s.

seems like the VG range for a common series is around $40 on the auction side.

some of the tougher series like #8 will bre much higher.

I have been picking up T210-3's for the last 2 years and believe me I would buy all I could find that were VG for $40. Anyone selling???

I have purchased 17 mostly raw T210-3s over that time frame and subbing them getting grades from SGC Auth to 50, the range I have paid has been $38 to $138 with the average paid at $71.06 not including grading fees.

I would like to see T210's return to around $35-$40 for VG cards. I can still remember buying T210 for $5-$10 each from guys at shows and out of SCD classifieds.

you and I both wish we could get what the prices on Ebay are. I have made offers that were very reasonable on some of those cards and didn't even get a response back from the lazy ass seller. There's no way anyone's ever going to pay 4-5 times what a cards value is. T210's went crazy after they were talked about in this forum last month. I think the new flavor of the month is 1934 Diamond Stars and PlayBall sets. Cards I was buying for $10-$20 6 months ago are now suddenly being listed for 4-5 times that, by several sellers. I have a feeling the E120 and E121 sets are going to start taking off this summer too, which is why my brother and I are buying all we can right now. More and more guys I am talking to are telling me they are starting to get in to the American Caramel sets.

very underrrated and underappreciated sets

[T206DK]

yes I think they are both under collected and under appreciated by most. My brother is close to finishing the E121 set, and it's been hard to find certain cards for sure. Condition is a big problem with the E121's also. I rarely see high grade cards anymore.
