Big T206 Purchase

[dwinters]

Very low expectations from original seller considering the popularity of t206 and tobacco cards (thanks to mr. Wagner). A sound seller would be thinking they were holding pure gold. Very very strange.

Possibly, but most of the people I know have no clue or have even heard of T206, H. Wagner, or tobacco cards....but those same people would know who to ask and suspect some value. But don't underestimate how many people out there have no idea and no thought to go anywhere but to a gold or pawn shop.

I still think most people think their 30 year old cards are worth money...they think their newly acquired 100 year old cards are impossible to come by.....dont underestimate current non-hobby people that didnt know about the crash....if they dont know what PSA is, then they pretty much think their late 80s-90s rookie cards are worth something

Nice pick up.

I always seem to pay more than a few hundreds bucks for the lots I buy

The guy I picked them up from said they came from a couple that also had silver they were selling. I will see if I can get some more information. I know the guy who bought them had no idea what he had either. He was just hoping they were real. I literally went through card by card with him to show him.
