The last nickel pack I bought cost me $425.00.


*(edited to add)* I've owned a couple pieces of the original art work for the bigger Helmar T3 style cards and while it was nice it just didn't hold my attention and I sold them a year or so later. To me the biggest factor with the pieces I owned was the quality of the original art, very loose/sloppy/amateurish in places. I understand that art is art and not everyone will like everything but the two pieces I owned just didn't look as good in hand as when I bought them at auction. The art work on the smaller Goudey style cards is much better in my opinion but they are completely different artists than the T3 art work.

Doesn't look like a shill to me.

Some ridiculous prices for sure, but no more so then modern chase cards, and I like these a lot better.

Collect what you want, but they definitely shouldn't be listed in the pre-WWII section, and can/should be reported under listing practices as search and browse manipulation (not like ebay will ever do anything about it ).

Personally I think they are junk and can't see why anyone would spend that much on them, but that's how I feel about most new cards.

When I first read the title to this thread I though it was another Probstein123 thread. Smh lol

As far as the Helmars they are some really neat fantasy pieces and well done also.

These people are being foolish for the most part in buying these things. No different to me than borders just a little higher quality. Seems like unlicensed crap to me.
