I have one. It's the only one I've ever owned. I can definitely see why so many would fall in love with these. They are even prettier in hand.

I echo the sentiments that say welcome to the forum.

I'm not an expert on this set either, but I do know they are pretty scarce. As pointed out though, that doesn't mean you will make a killing on a low condition card. Because of the size of this set (200+ cards), very few people ever try to collect the entire set. People that do collect them tend to be type collectors that just want an example. That will cut demand for a low grade, non HOFer.

Also, you may get some team set collectors chasing palyers from teams with long traditions (NY AL, Boston AL, Detroit, and Cleveland all have pretty avid collectors.) But because of the way they have moved around, Boston NL doesn't seem to have that following.

The other thing to keep in mind is that to get top dollar at auction, you really need to have two people chasing it, not one.

I think that would make this a $300-400 card in the condition you describe.

Alright guys- thanks for all the info. I'm not trying to over value the card but I don't want to lose out either. $300-$500 is what I estimated it as - with everything I was able to come up with on my own.

I'm not trying to drum up interest-kill this thread if you want -but I'll put this on ebay soon.

I've waited to sell this and the parts of my collection that are more modern and use the money for T206 collecting and any low grade Joe Jacksons, Ty Cobbs and Moe Bergs I can get my hands on at prices I can afford.

I hope I can be able to contribute to this forum in the near future.

Thanks !
