Julie VognarMcMullen is exactly the same as Risberg and Williams!
Risberg even has another Zeenut (1916).4250.00--2125.00--1275.00. Of course, now McMullen has another card, in that White Sox set (very attractive--but there's only 1 so far) that came out in 1917. In that set, this year, the Blacksox are all over the map--all over 1000.00, but all over, and the McMullen is only 1500.00. Joe Jackson is 22,000.00. Williams is 2000.00.
Gandil is 4,500.00; Weaver and Cicotte are 4000.00; felch is 2,500.00 (for some reason); Williams and Risberg are 2000.00.
I don't understand how Lemke can assign values to the lower grades of this set, since there's only one set--I think it's supposed to be near mint. But it's not as if these cards were changing hands individually at all different levels all the time.
That is, however, true of the Zeenuts, and the W514s, and the many sets that Cicotte and the several that Weaver appear in. Gandil as well.
It is, certainly, just a guide. When I go after a Mayo, there is no WAY I'm going to get one in near mint condition for the price Lemke lists--even though they go up every year! And, likewise, there are cards that always sell for less than book-Scrapps, for instance.
