Can anyone help me with Tom Downey player card weights?

Hi, I was told that I might be able to get help here with my modest PSA graded Tom Downey player set. The situation is that all of the cards in the sets are from 1903-1915. I am familiar with how most of these sets look but I would not be able to assign weights properly to each of the cards for the PSA registry. I am not familiar enough with these sets to determine which cards are either more valuable or rarer than any of the other ones. Please help me assign a weighting from 1-10 for each card according to it's value, rarity or some other reason. Also, if anyone has any PSA graded cards from this list for sale - Let me know. Please email me at nbdowney@msn.com with a weighted list. Thank you for your time, Neil

I can only say on t207. The card is one of the 25 toughest, t207 is very tough to rate 1 - 25 toughest as opinions vary, so given there are 200 cards in the set , not counting variations I would weight it an 8 on a scale of 1 - 10. Hope this helps.

Neil,
Best of Luck to you with this pursuit. The namesake set idea is so cool! You will find no better place in cyberspace to get these answers than here.

Should be a few more guys willing to "weigh" in and help you with this project either here or by email.

Please post some scans on these Boards if you get some of these puppies.
