As long as they are authentic and in any kind of halfway decent condition, I would say that you did pretty well for yourself.

Care to post some scans?

[mybuddyinc]

At around $10/card, with a bunch of HOFs and Southern Leaguers, even if they are all ripped in half, you got a great deal !!!

[Leon]

Wild guess says you are out $750 as they are fake.....just a guess though...Hope I am wrong. If they are real you did well.

[broadhurstinc]

Congrats,
A very good deal if authentic.. try to post some scans of a few fronts and backs. Most likely will be able to tell right away if they athentic by having some pictures of them.

2 cards you have there could be extremely valuable:

doyle, ny natl - depending on which doyle.. if it's blue and his hands are up above his head you just hit the lottery.

o'hara, st. louis - one concern on this is you have it with a piedmont back which isn't possible.. should be a polar bear back

try to post some scans of these two and a few others so some board members can have a look.

I'd have to agree that it is very unlikely that these are authentic. I responded to a Craigslist post recently and all of the cards were reproductions. Post a scan/photo of a few and we can let you know for sure.

Ohara sl piedmont + doyle ny NATl = fake
