I am with ya thinking the Colgan's are undervalued. They have real actual outstanding photos. They are cardboard, doubt they are much thinner paper stock than T206. All the grading companies grade them. They are in short supply, but also are other way more spendy issues. The set contains all the major HOFers, nice. They were widely distributed, with candy, just like other issues. To me, they just ooze vintage. It may simply all boil down to the shape, I guess.

I think there is an Addie Joss, right? That would be ideal I bought an empty tin about 6 months ago and need a card to add to it PM me! Thx Jeff

I got my Wags in the dark ages:
 I wanted it ever since I was a kid collector. The stock is thicker than the thin stock Coupon cards. Feels about the same as a Zeenut. I have an Evers I've been lazy about slabbing, so I can compare various types by feel. Got a Tinker too; looking for a comparable Chance to finish the trio These are the saddest of possible words: "Tinker to Evers to Chance." Trio of bear cubs, and fleeter than birds, Tinker and Evers and Chance. Ruthlessly pricking our gonfalon bubble, Making a Giant hit into a double Words that are heavy with nothing but trouble: "Tinker to Evers to Chance."

Tin top Cobb
Very undervalued in my opinion and the Tin Tops & Red Borders are awfully scarce… although the “Skydash” find of Tin Tops made them more attainable

I don't mind
hanging onto this 1 and only PSA graded red border example till the market appreciates it a bit more! There are 2 SGC graded examples - 1 comparable to this one and 1 that looks considerably worse. I believe a board member owns 1 of those.

In my opinion, the shape and size of these disc “cards” is what holds them back in popularity and price and I think that will always be the case. Similar to diecut cards and supplements, the fact that they are not “cards” in the traditional sense, will forever hold them back; note Post cards, which by their own name are “cards” and cabinets, which have a separate and established following/cache and are more widely accepted, do not, in my opinion, suffer so much from the same shape affliction, but are nominally penalized as well.
I own one round card. I don’t like it. I bought it bc it’s a very rare Wagner. I did make a run at the round Thorpe in ML a few months ago, bc I collect Thorpe and it’s super rare. Maybe I would like to own a Joe Jax. But aside from that, I have no real interest in round “cards”, even Wagner, Cobb, etc., and I suspect that is the hobby feeling in general. It may change, and I hope it does, but I am not betting on it Last edited by Rhotchkiss; 06-07-2022 at 10:03 AM.

The Colgan’s Chips sets have always been some of my favorite sets.
The round size puts people off for some reason and because they are not square many consider them not baseball cards. That being said many said the same thing about Exhibit cards as well due to their oversized nature as well until somewhat recently so it is likely Colgan’s could have their day in the sun at some point it seems. Here I feature my near Master set of E254’s: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=6b44G_TUWUM

One of my favorite sets--thanks for the youtube link Rhett. Would like to learn where you find the mylar sleeves you use for the binders.
Like Adam said, you really gotta love the Horner photos. My only complaint is the company's decision to spurn quality pitching, especially in the base E254 set (the E270s are of less interest to me). Like Val said, no Wajo. No Matty, Mordecai, Chief, Eddie, Marquardt or Willis. Still, the Cy is classic, as is the Joss, and multiple Waddells are a cool touch. I really like the mix of major and minor league players--some very obscure-- and the round shape actually appeals to me. I picked this set all those years ago in some ways because I was looking for one that could not easily be altered--especially trimmed. I don't pursue them as actively as I should anymore, but they have always been among my favorites to look at. Here's a possible rookie and error card rolled into one:

Thanks regarding the Cy Young chip. Sorry, didn't realize Walter Johnson not in set. And never, ever do I not consider W. Johnson a major HOFer, that would be silly. Come to think of it, don't think I ever have seen a Mathewson also. I remember the Skydash find - a lot of HOFers, even the Jim Thorpe!
