Turkey Red T3 Cards

[bigtrain]

The cost of having these cards graded will be well worth it if they have not been trimmed or altered. It is impossible to accurately grade a card from a scan but suffice it to say that a high grade Rhoades could bring $10,000 by itself.

I've always loved the T3 set, I wish you the best on these cards. Did you any more cards?

A one month subscription to vintagecardprices.com would be a good investment to see what they've brought in previous auctions. Like Dan, I'd prefer SGC for my own collection but there are more PSA registry sets out there, so to maximize your return, I'd go that way. Great thing to have dropped in your lap. Grading them is not cheap but you will get the return many times over especially if you get any of the HOFers or Rhoades grade 4-5-6.

Thanks again for the help. It appears that Doolin is a short print (maybe). Mine would probably grade a psa 5 - 6 or so. Is it short? Thanks again.

If you are interested in reselling - get them graded. Once grades have been assigned it's very easy to value each card and know how much your collection is worth. Rhoades is a very scarce card esp. in top shape.

P.S. That Lajoie card looks AMAZING -- wouldn't be surprised to see that in a '5', '6' or even perhaps a '7' holder. FYI....Turkey red ad backs are a little more scarce and some consider them to bring a slight premium ... but they are certainly not rare.

I'm working on a really low grade T3 set, so I'm not too in touch with the prices of cards in the condition of yours. I did some searching around to see if I could help you out with pricing. There's definitely something funky going on with the Doolin card. Compare these two auctions: REA, Mastro

There are so many variables that can influence the price (name spelling, back type, deviant bidding, who happens to want one, general world economic conditions, etc) that I can't tell you what's what. Maybe someone more experienced will chime in. I know I don't pay a premium for ad backs, but I'm a cheapskate poverty-stricken college student.

There's also this lot of 10, most of which I'd say are comparable to your lot, only that yours probably has better cards and there are more of them. You might be getting gypped at even $15k.
