September Pickups

I picked my Clemente user icon back when I first joined. I found it doing a Google image search. Today, I purchased the original wire photo of the image off ebay. I apologize that this isn't a pre-war pick-up, but I just thought it was a pretty cool find:

I got my first T211, I am very excited for this one. The advice I need is this, I bought a T206 Kissinger in low grade (probably would be poor to fair), and they sent this American Caramel instead. I am fine with the American Caramel, but it is not a set I collect. The seller contacted me and said they would refund me $10 to return the card, which is very fair. My question is what would the American Caramel be worth? It is graded VG. If I decide to keep it, I would like to send an offer to make it fair for both them and me. I figure if I send it back, it would cost the seller at least $15 to send me the T206 (since they would refund me $10 to send it back, and about $5 to ship the other). Would it be worth it to them to just have me keep it? Should I offer them something to even up the cost? What roughly is the value of the American Caramel? Any thoughts are appreciated.

Oh, the little pin is a Red Cross tobacco pin. I was hoping to win the 3 Red Cross cards in the Legendary Auction last week, but no luck.

That Cox E120 is worth about $25. There don't seem to be a lot of people collecting them. I've bought over 100 of them in the past year and have a pretty good idea of the market. If you were to offer them like $5-7 I bet they would see that as fair and be happy to have the issue resolved.

Thanks, I have never bought one (I never have even shopped for one), and was thinking of keeping it to just have one from the series. But if that is all they are worth, I will send it back and get the T206 I originally bought. I appreciate the advice.

Jason -

I'm sure you probably already own one, but there is a 2008 Stadium Club card using your avatar picture. I'd send you one, but I don't have a dup.

I've been wanting this one for quite some time. I'd like to thank a fellow net54er for helping me get it.
