These are nice looking. Don't get too anxious to remove the cards because there are methods like soaking that could avoid paperloss on those that weren't previously reglued.

They are all removed now. It is really quite easy to remove them. The ones that had paper loss were not from removing them but from the removing them and regluing them many many many years ago to sort them by team.

Unfortunately, a large number did have paper loss. My guess is the original owner decided to rip everything out and sort it by team, and then when he acquired new cards he would just glue them in on the team specific page, which I would guess are the ones that have no paper loss.

There are a load of other tobacco cards as well. Boxing, Billiards Players, Track and Field stuff, even a card with Buffalo Bill on it and one of Annie Oakley. Pretty cool stuff!

I think these valuations and comments mirror my emails to you before you started posting . It never hurts to get other opinions. BTW, Buffalo Bill and Annie Oakley are 2 cards that hold considerable value themselves. Good luck....

have scanned all the common T205s. I think 1 or 2 HOF may have slipped in. not looking forward to scanning the T206s as there is at least twice as many.

unfortunately only about 40 of the common T206 had pretty good backs.

is there much worthy of being graded here or is it not worth it?

[T205 GB]

T205's & T206's:

Get a subscription to VCP like most of us. Do some research on pricing and such. Grading is gonna tell you nothing more than the cards with paper loss are still a 1 and will only sell for a bit over that maybe to the right limited group. The rest of the commons without paper loss are gonna sell for near what graded ones are selling for so save the money and sell them raw.

Allen and Ginter:

Follow first list of instructions above and if they are really nice then grade them.

Jmo and will vary person to person
