He is another card that doesn't come up, along with about 50 other OJ players. Just like with the Cross, it will go for big bucks when it does show up just because we haven't seen one recently. Try finding a Taylor Shaffer, my good friend Kevin will tell you that you shouldn't let one of these tough players get away, even if it isn't the player you're looking for, you could always try to use it as trade bait. I would love to get a William Veach OJ but I've never even put it on my wantlist for a reason, I'm not going to be able to afford it if it does come up

The 1880s Sporting Times rarely come up for sale. I assume because they're rare.

A lot rarer than the Just So's

John, what do you think a cross would go for? he is also on my want list

I think I wouldn't bid too crazy, though, I think Louiville cards have been hitting the moon much harder then they have in the past... They're leaving craters.

I would also like to know your take on what a veach, we're one to surface as a single in a lot, would sell for.

They come up every once in a while, but I have not found an E300 Plows Candy for my type card collection.

Cross is going to go for a ton if it is his Louisville version because he is so tough(and a great player) and the team is highly collectible by some big spenders. If you can find his Philadelphia version and it isn't the Player's League card, it could be in a more manageable price range. For a (low)gradeable one it will still be around 1k but there are so many variables, such as two pose collectors needing the card. They could battle it out one time and sky is the limit. I would say the longer you go without seeing it, the higher the price goes so I could be way off on that estimate.

Veach, if it isn't his California League card(which could go 6 figures), would be another sky is the limit card. I think even if a pose collector has his pose, they are still bidding on it because they know it is great trade bait. Hard to put a price range on it. I know I'd give it a good effort but wouldn't expect to be among the top 2 bidders.

Collecting an OJ player set(even without Cal Lg cards) isn't for the faint of heart or an impatient person. There are enough common players in the set to keep you occupied for awhile though, plus different poses of easy players

Thanks for your input John. I believe there were two crosses in the Oregon find.

Just checked, didn't see any in the Oregon Find, saw one in the Indy find and that one was sold before I knew about it. If you have any other questions, just PM me. If there is one thing I know, it is how much OJ's usually cost(usually more than I can afford) and which ones are harder to find. You learn a lot about them by being an underbidder more often than not

Nice, thanks John, I'll be blowing up your inbox at some point.
