I was hoping someone could help me out. I have an oppurtunity to get some N360's this weekend and know nothing about the set or their worth. I have been collecting for a while but have never run across them. I was hoping someone could shed some light on them for me and what to pay approx.- Thanks

A couple sold recently on Ebay:

The prices seem way too high to me, some rare cards of real players don't hit that. Guess its all in what people decide they want. Anyway, hope that helps.

Many of us tend to forget that there are market factors other than baseball when a card has a baseball theme. You also hit a cross over market with those cards. There is a schedule on the back, so have sked collectors in on the deal. Also, tobacco card collectors will be hot on the cards if it is a rare brand name. I'm not a 19th century tobacco expert, but I can't say I've seen any other cards with Little Rhody Cigar ads.

The N360 cards are fairly rare, and in my opinion very attractive. The lithos are detailed and colorful and the card stock is very thick and of high quality. Most who would collect these types of cards are into the Baseball related Victorian Trade Cards of the 1870-90s as well. I have since sold the only N360 I have owned, but when I bought it originally it was one of about 4-5 the seller sold, and all went for over $100, some of the better condition ones as high as $200 on eBay. There are many different backs (Cockade, Gay Head, Little Rhody, MT Coffey, Helmet, Idea, Pluck, GF Young Bros., SW Venable, etc.). There are said to be 9 different fronts. The exact card I had is actually pictured in the 2003 and 2004 "SCD Standard Catalog of Baseball Cards" (page 37 in the 2004), with a high book of $150 NRMT which I think is about right. I have seen them sell for more than book in the past but most are right about at book values. Id pay $100+ for nice examples if you want to sell any Frank

I would be willing to pay closer to 200 each if they are nice -

Thank you
