T210 collectors unite

Epps - Interesting question. I have never given it an ounce of thought until now. It would take some time to value this thing out as there are just so many toughies through the various series, and with the Joe and Casey, you can set those aside as the Big 2 at $100K+ and $10K+ (Depending on condition) Also, don't let a few fool you as there are a small handful that would sell over $1K+ due to their extreme rarity, like the T210 Moxie Manuel card from Series 8. (He is in the top 5 on most jewish collectors want list) From there I can tell you most Series 8 would range around $90-$145, but a second tier of Series 8 would easily be over $200 each and there are probably 3 or 4 dozen of those...(Same for Series 6 & 7) It would take some time to put a fair value on this entire set. My guestimate without digging in would be $40,000 to $75,000 for the set minus the big 2. (The Joe would make valuing it hard as it could sell for $100K or much much higher depending on condition) You could take those number add in the Joe and Casey and you have a $200,000++ set. If I could have 1 choice : The Joe or the entire set minus the Joe. I would choose the entire set, display that puppy, and sit back and enjoy. 2 cents...

I was thinking around the same thing in todays market. If I remember correctly, I think a complete set sold in the early 1990's for around $13,000. If only I could go back in time...

I seem to remember a lot of around 500 or so different t210's selling for over $150,000 not too long ago. It might have been in an REA or Goodwin auction.

I have compiled team checklists for series 1-6 so far if anyone is interested. they are just simple Word Doc. files. I will be doing series 7 and 8 this week.

does anyone or has anyone speculated that there will be cards found in series 4 of players from Ashville and Parkersburg

Interesting Series 4 speculation, Dave. With that series being the smallest with 4 teams, (The rest have 6 teams or more) it would be neat if there was an additional team find, but it just wouldn't make a lot of sense for this to happen, as an example should have surfaced by now. The only way that might happen is if they were meant to be produced, there was a sheet of just that team, and then they did not produce them after the sample sheet, and the sheet got either tucked away or cut and kept somewhere. Highly unlikely, but stranger things have happened. By the way, I see Series 4 has some toughies on many advanced collecters want list. There seems to be a challenge with a handful of guys in that series.

perhaps its the fact that the Virginia Valley League only lasted the 1910 season then disbanded. I could only find the name of one player who played on the 1910 Parkersburg team, so it they might have been overlooked due to obscurity.But then on the other hand , I keep thinking that these were distributed regionally in the West Virginia, Kentucky, Ohio area where the league was located so they would not be obscure in that area of the country. I keep wondering why the whole league isn't representd somehow when it seem all other series have players from all the teams that were in their respective leagues in 1910. We may never fully understand the thought process behind the issuing of these cards.

Keep in mind, that each team represented only has a chosen number of players represented, so while players were chosen, it is likely teams were chosen as well resulting in some players and teams that were left out.
