In a very small number of cases, specific markings have increased the value of a card. The most obvious example of this would be when the player pictured has autographed the card. Other examples include "back stamp" markings from particular (well known) collectors.

If you can, please post clear pictures of your cards. I suggest, at minimum, three pictures of each T206 card:

1. Front of card
2. Closeup of the player's name (from the card front)
3. Back of card

Collectively, Net54 members are exceptionally skilled at authenticating T206 cards. They will be able to tell you if you've posted images of genuine examples. That would be a logical first step in estimating value.

I must say that I am impressed by the reserve that members are showing here. We all know that Bdt’s presentation has all of the hallmarks of fake ignorance regarding reprint cards. It’s just way too easy these days to find out if they are real.

Bdt - just tell us what big city you live near and we will point you to a show where a dealer can show you real T206’s and maybe even some “large cards”. You will have your answer in 5 minutes.

I don't post often, but I 100% get behind this statement! Well done, net54!

[DallasAg]

You don’t know how much they’re worth but immediately started fielding offers? How did you find Net54 if you’re not already familiar with baseball card collecting? I’m not trying to be rude; I am just pointing out why you may be met with skepticism.

If you’re completely opposed to mailing them, you could call Beckett and see if they’ll accept an in person drop off and make the 3hr drive to Dallas to get them authenticated.

I would be interested in seeing pictures of the rest of the find

Impressed or surprised.

Just looked. The T206 are 1000000000000% counterfeit/reprints and there are plenty of others circulating with the “mlb dates” on the back. I didnt need to see the back to know this, but the dates on the back made it even more obvious. The front color clarity/quality gave it away.

Show the entire T206 card with a good picture. Not some half ass blurry pic from some 1997 Nokia flip phone.

[BillyCoxDodgers3B]

Why is any of this being seriously entertained? Can't we all just end the joke?
