Default 1923 Maple Crispette (#15 Casey Stengel)

Posted By: Eric Eichelkraut

I did update my Maple site a bit, adding a few other tidbits about the set. I also added a few card scans, including one of the backside.

At the 2002 National, a dealer was offering the majority of the Maple set. I don't remember who it was, but they had all but about 4 or 5 of the cards (no Stengel, of course). I did inquire about the asking price, but can't remember what that price was. I do remember it to be pretty reasonable, but far beyond the amount I had in my wallet.

I think I posted this on another Maple thread, the cards have seen a major increase in prices over the last year. I think a few major collectors in the field have recently been turned on to them, and it only takes 2 people to jack up prices. Commons in Good condition have been selling for $50-150 recently, with stars commanding much more. The thing about Maple's is that they're a very condition sensitive issue. Cards found in VG or better are pretty rare..and the prices on these go up dramatically.

To answer the gentleman's question about Sam Bohne, he is a common player/card, but a common that isn't seen quite as often as some of the others. I'd say Bohne in Good condition should run around $50 or so.
