Scans of Jan's Inheritance

Posted at Jan's request. Great cards!!

Pics might take a while to load. Opinions welcome.

Are you interested in selling it? If so, let me know because I am interested in a few cards.

some nice cards...i always like these original finds.

Nice cards
Is it my imagination or are all the T210-3's Orange borders or is it just the scans fooling me.

REA does lots where he will keep a group like this in tact and sell it. Rob's minimum is $1k for a lot and with Wags and Cobb, that would be easily met. With the current market, eBay is not a good option as I have heard from many people that t206s are getting killed and Old Mill market is not what it was a few years ago. Jan would have a tough time selling them on eBay because there would no history of previous sales, thus killing prices and consigning them to someone to sell on eBay means they would be out the ebay vig plus whatever the seller was charging.

REA is still the best option if Rob is willing to take them

Thanks to Ben for posting the scans! Rob was able to come to this site to see the cards and said he would be happy to put them in the next auction.I will be mailing them tomorrow via registered mail. BTW, he said registered mail never gets lost.
I have a new computer and could not figure out why my scan would not work. I really thought it was me and asked my daughter to try it. Nope, no luck. Then my son in law, who is on the computer all day, tried to reprogram. Nope, again. He took the cards home, scaned them and sent back to me in an email. I was able to forward the email to Ben but, could not get my computer to forward to Rob. Ben really "saved the day" for me and I am very appreciative for his help.
You all are a great bunch to talk with and I'm so glad you have this wonderful web site. Jan

Quick question....how did you find Full Count Forum?




Mark

I typed in "old baseball cards" on the Yahoo search engine. Many, many listed. After looking at 2 or 3, bam! there you were. Jan

For the Big 6........... it was the scan. Borders are red. Jan

That is what i wanted to hear!!!!

Mark

Happy to help, Jan. REA was a great choice. Good luck with the sale, and thanks for sharing scans of your cards with us!

See you around,
Ben

Hi Jan,

Are there any other backs other than Piedmont or Sweet Caporal?

For the T210 collectors, Is that the complete Dallas team she has?

Lee

Mark, it's all about the metatag. I seem to have gotten a bit lucky and wrote a really good one for the site since I haven't had to touch it since the first day. We are always right in the top 5 or 10 in just about any search involving the cards we love. The sites that usually outrank us are dealer sites or Old Cardboard.

Jay

Lee,
T210s are all Old Mill backs
T206; Brown & Wagner are Philadelphia Caramel. Brown back printed in red & states set of 30 ball players (back has lots of stains) Wagner's printed in black & set is 25 ball players.
Old Mill backs; O'Leary, Davis, Covaleski, Jennings & Cobb
Sweet Caporal backs; Wagner(Boston) & Weimer
One Hindu back of Wagner(Boston)
All of the other T206 are Piedmont backs

i like rob, and i love giving rea business since i feel they're one of the few standup auction houses out there....but honestly i feel this lot might have done better in a smaller venue. rob puts out 1 auction a year, over a thousand lots plus with some incredible rare pieces...and these cards might get lost in the shuffle.

i would've probably graded the t206 cobb/evers, e95 wagner and e96 brown and listed them myself...but understand how the process could be overwhelming to someone new.

Were we able to get a final decision on what Jan has decided to do with the cards? If she sent them to REA any news on them yet?

Lee

Lee, my collection will be in REA's next auction.
Thanks again, to all of you for your time and great recommendations. Jan

Thanks for the update, Jan. You will have to let us know when you find out which lot
