Very very nice!!! Love the art work!!!

Is it possible to put the set together all 6 cards or is it a hard thing to do? Do they come up for sale often or very rarely?

[ullmandds]

if you are referring to n43's...they r tough! You see Ewings because they are so high buck...but the rest are definitely challenging...I have 2...and am kinda trying for the set...it will take a while!!!

Nice if you have any pictures please post!!

And how about the 1888 N29 Allen & Ginter baseball cards are they hard to complete as a 6 card set? Do they come up often or rarely as well?

[ullmandds]

n28/n29 are relatively common 19th c cards...n29 a little tougher than n28. Additionally they are thick and sturdy and can be found in high grade...also book/poster cutouts can be found and can be had cheaply! If you're just looking to complete n29 baseball...it will be a small challenge!!!! Good luck if you decide to pursue it!

It looks like most if not all n29 baseball are available on ebay right now?!

Is it just me or all cards from the 1800's seem to cost much more than the price guides have them priced? Whit these cards do price guides simply fly out the window and are irrelevant?

[ullmandds]

with experience and research you'll find that price guides are useless for determining current values...additionally ebay is chock full of expensive bin's posted by optimistic fishermen!
