1902 C96 Views Of The World
Just wondering everyone's thoughts on this set. It has the first cards of some very important building such as The Vatican, The Taj Mahal and The Leaning Tower of Piza to name a few. There are only about 4-5 of each graded by PSA and I couldn't find a SGC pop report. The cards are beautiful for the time period. They seem to go for pretty cheap if you can find them. Is this a case of where they are too rare for their own good or people don't really care about buildings?

Answer
Option #2. Very few graded because the grading costs way more than the card is worth.

It's just hard for me to wrap my mind around such significant buildings in 1902 cards not having any collectability but I guess that's the hobby |

Answer
They are very collectible just not very valuable. Most non sports of that era of birds, animals, flags, cars, buildings, scenery etc don’t sell for more than a few dollars a card if in decent condition. They are usually purchased as sets or in large miscellaneous lots. Check eBay and auction house reports…..

I have searched on ebay and there is only 1 card available for sale from what I can find. That is why I thought they were rare. Finding info on the set is so scarce that this thread now shows as the top result in Google.

Here is a link to where a complete set sold for "best offer" which means less than the asking price of $215 United States dollars..... 50 card set for $200 or less. They are not highly sought after and fall into the non sports abyss of "should be worth more but arent" . I agree they are cool looking and if you like them go after them. Cards like this I usually buy in piles at about $1 per card. A set usually would command a better premium just to have it complete. Non sports is an area where you can pick up old and fairly rare cards at bargain prices. Theres a few exceptions to this but these aint it. However, if you promote the Taj Mahal rookie card enough, who knows? https://www.ebay.com/itm/40411582784...Bk9SR7jC67jOYg
