N300 Mayo's Cut Plug Set

[kevinlenane]

I collect this set too - and even though it's expensive I think it's undervalued given the low population. There aren't really high grade cards in the n300 set so the best I can manage is basically anything above "A" which a lot of the time means it's been touched up/colored. At some point - before the advent of grading - it seems as if this was a normal practice for Mayos during the glory days when your local dealer told you what condition a card was. Even with all that I'm not above buying a touched up version of one of the biggies where a 2 can get into the thousands.

As long as a touched up version is sold and bought as such, it is a great way to collect and save a lot of money on what an untouched one would be. I agree this set seems undervalued. I have always liked the Anson and think it's one of his best cards.

Kevin,

I agree with you. The N300 May's are one of the few sets I don't mind buying in "A" as it usually means someone darkened the edges. It is an accomplishment adding a nice Authentic card to your set. Also agree that it is difficult finding higher grade cards and the set is undervalued.
