Thanks! My grandfather knew I collected and bought them for me for $10 each in Mississippi at a flea market.

Not too sure what these are but they don't have a period look to me. They look later, maybe 1940s or 1930s.

I was going to guess 1940s. They're reminiscent of the Topps Magic Photo series of 1948 but with much deeper contrast than one typically finds in those.

The $2,000 is only an estimate. Since it would be offered by a well known auction house the hammer price should be close to the actual value of the cards.

Thanks Howard. Do you think I should stay with Heritage? Are there others that are more geared towards baseball cards? Should I try eBay?

I would think Heritage would be about as good as you could do. Definitely not ebay. Nice cards!

Welcome to the board, Tom.

Looks like you have one of those 'big fish' stories to share through the years. I have never been so lucky.

I defer to those who have responded previously as to what to do with them. Most of the members are much higher on the food chain than me.

Good Luck,
Raymond
