Colgan’s Chips Values

[rhettyeakley]

The Colgan’s Chips sets have always been some of my favorite sets.

The round size puts people off for some reason and because they are not square many consider them not baseball cards. That being said many said the same thing about Exhibit cards as well due to their oversized nature as well until somewhat recently so it is likely Colgan’s could have their day in the sun at some point it seems.

Here I feature my near Master set of E254’s:

One of my favorite sets--thanks for the youtube link Rhett. Would like to learn where you find the mylar sleeves you use for the binders.

Like Adam said, you really gotta love the Horner photos. My only complaint is the company's decision to spurn quality pitching, especially in the base E254 set (the E270s are of less interest to me). Like Val said, no Wajo. No Matty, Mordecai, Chief, Eddie, Marquardt or Willis. Still, the Cy is classic, as is the Joss, and multiple Waddells are a cool touch.

I really like the mix of major and minor league players--some very obscure-- and the round shape actually appeals to me. I picked this set all those years ago in some ways because I was looking for one that could not easily be altered--especially trimmed. I don't pursue them as actively as I should anymore, but they have always been among my favorites to look at. Here's a possible rookie and error card rolled into one:

Thanks regarding the Cy Young chip. Sorry, didn't realize Walter Johnson not in set. And never, ever do I not consider W. Johnson a major HOFer, that would be silly. Come to think of it, don't think I ever have seen a Mathewson also. I remember the Skydash find - a lot of HOFers, even the Jim Thorpe!

One of my favorite sets. Over 25 yrs ago a good friend Mark Macrae got me into these beautiful gems. From then on the hunt was on. Kind of like Zeenuts you need to look at them carefully. Their are font and size differences and ones like this. Always need to check the backs no matter who the player is for the E254's Alot of my Colgan's were purchased from the late Julie Vognar RIP.

Anyone have a Clemons Louisville they would part with?

Nice Flick (Toledo). Easily the rarest HOF card in the entire E254 set. Rare back as well!

Undervalued and my favorite

I always liked and wanted to get the Tinker Evers to Chance trio, Colgans was the most affordable for me, but a year and half to complete. Nothing wrong with the T206s

The square cousins don't get much love either, although I'm a fan.

Rhett- I really enjoyed your video. Very cool set with many variations. Between your previous set sale & what you have now, would you have completed the master set?
