Need help with these t206's

It's hard to guess value when it all comes down to how the cards would grade, or at least it would need a closer, first hand inspection for flaws and possible trimming/alterations.

Having said that, there's 7 HOF cards in that group, with the best card possibly being the T206 M.Brown Old Mill.

Assuming all of the big $ cards would grade numerically, I'll guess around $1500 - $2000 market value for the entire group, but I'm not an expert, so there might be some non HOF rarities in there that would push it higher.

Thanks! I probably wouldn't grade any because the turnaround time would be too long. What would you want to be into this for if you were buying to resell. A fair number for the seller and I would be....? Thanks

The ballpark I had in my head from a quick look was ~$1,000 for a buy price as a lot, and you could break it up to get ~$1,500+. The Lundgren Cubs card is a tougher one as well.

Thanks a lot. I appreciate it.

If it were me, I'd try to get it for $800 or less, but $1000 is far from a bad deal.

Doing a quick analysis and calculation, there are about 7 T206s here with decent value. I'm not as well versed in T205s, but there doesn't appear to be any big names of those, although the one has a cool date stamp which can add value to the right collector.

I calculated the estimated resale value total of those 7 T206s to be about $500 on the low end. That leaves 26 cards remaining, and if you just do a quick multiplication by $20 (again, on the low side for a majority of them), the entire low-end value of this lot is about $1000.

So if you can snag the lot for around $800 or less, you're doing REALLY well. If you can snag the lot for $800-1000, it's still a pretty good deal.

Thanks a lot for the information. I offered 850. Waiting for a response. I think that's fair and I can turn a profit right?

I would say so. If you get the lot for $850, and we allocated $500 of that value to the 7 main cards (again, that $500 in minimum value), that leaves $350 of total value in the other 26 cards. That's $13.46 per card. At the minimum $20 that I was calculating, that's a $170 profit. If we raised it to $25 per card, that's a $300 profit. I'll let you decide if that's enough profit for you, but I'd take that on strictly the more common cards. There's also a lot meat on the bone for the 7 higher end cards - you could profit big time with those. At $850, that's $25 per card, which is the average price of a common, and you have 7 HoFers in pretty good condition. If you resold each HoFer at what you paid for them ($25 each), that's $175. But I calculated their resale value to be $500 in total. So that's another $300+. All in all, you have room to profit $550+.

Sorry if my explanation is confusing at all.

No I truly appreciate the information. He is mulling over the offer. He said it's fair but wants to think about it.

One thing I will say is be prepared to sit on them, or get creative with how to sell them (lots, singles, different outlets, etc.).
