How rare would a stack of 1921 Herpolsheimer's be? Including Babe. Just wondering :)

Jobu-

1921, not 1916. Different issue, different team, RC vs. non-RC

It's a very different issue altogether

Ah, my bad guys. Did that on my phone and wasn't paying enough attention.

Great cards. That Ruth will sell for a lot.

BTW, that funny "found $2 card in the pawn shop - possibly worth millions!" story that hit recently is what brought these out (same card front). So that pawn shop owner didn't know what it was? That's not like any pawn shop owner I've ever known.

Not sure about the other guy and the $2 shotwell, but these definitely the real deal. Since they've probably been living in the can for 90 years, these cards in this collection has that nice old paper smell

Big selling point of these has been they were all one of ones. Does that cut the value in half at least the commons?

Definitely a large find will cut the value overall. If they all sell at once I think it’ll saturate the market, like some of the other finds have done over last ten years with other issues.

Abd guess we will see, but I’d say value on this Ruth is more like $20k-25k. It’s not the 1916 issue.

If you were talking a Black Swamp-like find with multiples of given players in conditions never before seen I would agree. But this takes the cards from population 1 to population 2. If anything I think it sparks interest and they see an increase. They're still rarer than all get out, but we're not adding 5 or 6 or more of any one given card, and some of his might be 1 of 1's that were previously undiscovered (haven't actually gone through the lists)

Congrats and good luck!
