Nice first post. Yes, a Piedmont Factory 42 is always valuable, and on a Matty in VG condition that would make it a very valuable card.

Thank you for your reply. Do you have an idea of the value? Is there someone in the Carolina’s or Georgia that would be a good place to help me know the value of my small collection?

Not sure of local appraisal but if you search PSA population you can get an idea of its rarity. Unique T206s always do well. Any images to share?

I've seen Factory 42 multipliers of x6... now, I'm not sure if people really pay that for it.

If you figure it is a $400-500 card, $2-3000 may not be unreasonable. Can you post pics?

VCP only shows one Matty Pied 42 sale in the last 10 years. It went for $1,025, but that card was in poor condition. If your card really is very good, I would say $2,500 at least.

I have attached a couple of photos. Sorry about the quality. I am not a very good photographer.

If it's trimmed, you'd have to subtract a good deal of money though....

[alywa]

Yeah, I'd be worried its trimmed. If not, that looks like a damn nice card...

[JCBritfest]

It doesn’t appear to have been trimmed. If it was it would have been over seventy years ago. I have 21 t206 and 13 t210 cards that we’re my father’s. I am not sure where he got them, but I believe they were my grandfathers. I have had the cards since 1987 and never really cared much about them. An Old Mill cigarette package came with the cards.
