What would you do?

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

Thanks Luke. I will call them to schedule an appointment. They want me to bring the cards in.

Wow! Nice find. I think it is the same picture.

These seem to be from the same set that is listed in the Standard Catalog.

1921 W-Unc.....very scarce, very cool and don't have the value they should relative to their scarcity, imo...

Heritage was correct and gave you good advice...(for the record, I am friendly with them and they advertise here) $2k is probably close for the Matty....if 2 people have to have it, it could go for more......but that is not a bad estimate imo. I have sold a few of these too, but don't remember seeing a Matty .....too rare for its own good.

Very Cool. These must be the 14 he mentioned in his message to me, now my two make it 16. I think it will be hard to let go of something so scarce. I might have the only one.

Tom,

Another one from the 1921 W-Unc self developing:

Hello Everyone,

Thanks again to everyone who helped me identify my cards a while back. I had made the decision that I was going to go ahead and keep them. They are very rare, one of a kind cards!

But I have changed my mind, again, and am going to go ahead and sell them. I have contacted Heritage again (just emailed) about getting them in their next auction. I had a few offers through private messages last time around. If you're interested let me know.

Thanks.
Tom
