Here is that thread from 6 years ago. A nice discovery, and I imagine a certain amount of procrastination and/or no burning desire to rush into things has probably been involved.

Time flies. I am surprised people remembered this.

So the biggest question I have is about this Ty Cobb. I could have sworn when I looked into pricing 6 years ago this was worth around $500-1000 in this condition. Does this sound right? I am seeing some pretty beat up green Ty Cobbs for $5,000+.

My second question is, would it be worth it to get all of these graded and sealed? How much would something like that cost? Any grader recommendations?

Are you looking to sell or keep? If keep, I wouldn't bother with grading. Yes, green Cobbs have gone up in pricing.

You have some great cards that all increased in price except maybe Tris Speaker. But there is a collector on Net54 who buys cut cards like that. But Brown, Mathewson, Chase, Cobb, Young.... wow. I would submit for grades all of those. The others maybe not unless you have some rare factory locations.

I’m not at all surprised; the collective memory of this group is outstanding. To most of us, six years isn’t really that long.

One, last thing, checking eBay, I am seeing that the price of my Ty Cobb has skyrocketed since I found these six years ago. Is there any reason for this?

I also just noticed that the back of my card has a "Star Gas Company" stamp and what looks like two stickers. Does this hurt the value of the card? I cannot seem to find any info online about this. Thanks.
