T210's On Ebay

so are you looking for the same type of ballpark figure you gave that guy? If so...t210's are worth more than 1980's topps commons...and less than t208 commons.

I think Karma just slapped me upside my head.

on the T210s.

seems like the VG range for a common series is around $40 on the auction side.

some of the tougher series like #8 will bre much higher.

I have been picking up T210-3's for the last 2 years and believe me I would buy all I could find that were VG for $40. Anyone selling???

I have purchased 17 mostly raw T210-3s over that time frame and subbing them getting grades from SGC Auth to 50, the range I have paid has been $38 to $138 with the average paid at $71.06 not including grading fees.

I would like to see T210's return to around $35-$40 for VG cards. I can still remember buying T210 for $5-$10 each from guys at shows and out of SCD classifieds.

It is very difficult to come up with a ballpark figure on the T210s as even ungraded Series 1 cards in nice shape have been skyrocketing. The poster who mentioned that Series 8 cards are more than the lower series cards is correct but I've noticed Series 4, 6 and 7 cards have increased exponentially and are bringing high prices compared to where they were 9 months ago.
One thing to remember is that VG cards, or PSA 3s and SGC 40s, are cards in very nice shape for this set.
All that being said, there are degrees of rarity within the different series and you might see a PSA 3 Series 6 card go for $90.00 and another go for $300.00. The more information you can obtain on scarcities in the set, the better you will do. Good luck, I know I still have almost half the set to go and it is getting tougher all the time with the increased number of collectors going after the red borders.

Bob is right about the degrees of rarity. Back in the late 80's early 90's T210's were the "redheaded step-child" of pre war tobacco cards ( that an Obaks). Differing degrees of rarity in each of the 8 series started to become evident as more collectors tried to put the set together as best they could. Series 6,7,and 8 cards are tougher to find in my opinion. I just looked at my old notecards from the the year 1993 and found an entry my brother or I had made when we had bought a lot of T210's off of Teletrade and another lot at an estate sale in Indianapolis. the teletrade lot was 12 cards in VG-VG + ,that we won for $60. all were series 1, and 2. The Indianapolis lot was 22 cards all in VG for $178 and contained all series 13 series 1 cards , 1 series 3 card, 1 series 4 card, 2 series 6 cards, and 5 series 7 cards all purchased. an interesting note: at the same estate sale we bought a Cobb bat off shoulder for $185 that was later graded PSA 3 and a Mathewson portrait for $40 that was graded a 2.
