Is it just me or all cards from the 1800's seem to cost much more than the price guides have them priced? Whit these cards do price guides simply fly out the window and are irrelevant?

[ullmandds]

with experience and research you'll find that price guides are useless for determining current values...additionally ebay is chock full of expensive bin's posted by optimistic fishermen!

Very very nice cards!!! Thanks for sharing!!! I guess living in Canada I only trust Ebay for now since I have no established dealer in the U.S and do not want to take the risk of losing my money.

I also have ryan and getzin, which comprise a subset of the 3 different baseball backgrounds.

Are the 1887 Old Judge cards rarer than these 2 sets?

One way to gauge a rough estimate of how many cards may exist is to look at the population reports on sgccard.com and psacard.com

For example, PSA reports that they have graded 6 N43 Fogartys. To me that means the card would not have a known population of more than 50 in existence, probably much less.
