Need Advice on 1927 Rinkeydink Stamps

[glchen]

Rinkeydink stamps are basically cutouts from a newspaper. Therefore, the back of the "stamp" is basically just the other side of the newspaper, and doesn't really add anything to the stamp. I've attached the two versions (green and yellow backgrounds) of the Babe Ruth's that I have from this set including their back, so you can compare. As you can see, the back is just a random portion of a newspaper. Since the stamp is newspaper stock, you cannot soak it to remove the paper that it is glued to, otherwise, the stamp/newspaper will basically just dissolve in the water. I think there is still decent value to the stamp even if it's glued to a paper. You can probably still get one of the TPG's to encapsulate them (if needed) w/ the Authentic/Altered qualifier. The set has Ruth, Cobb, and other HOFer's. I would guess that the Ruth by itself is probably worth ~$200. The others would be worth less than that, depending on the player.
