Default what are these things?

Posted By: Max Weder

I'm not sure where people are arriving at a "wholesale" or "retail" price for these, given the few recorded sales on ebay or other auction sites. While these cards have rarely surfaced on ebay, they do of course surface locally from time to time in the Vancouver market (where these arose) and where the ballplayers played.
I did see and bid on these auctions, and placed what I consider reasonable prices, given the past purchases I have made. Perhaps I am out of step with the market, or least the post-sales market.

People are certainly entitled to pay for a particular card what they wish, and it is nice to see that amateur ballplayers from the 1930s are getting their respect in this form of higher prices.

(Leon: I'm not sure why a type collector would want more than one card from a set )
