| 289.1 | Great Set | ASDS::KELLY | | Thu Jul 18 1991 13:50 | 15 |
| Hi Donna. The best way is to get a copy of the latest Baseball
Americanna by Jim Beckett ( make sure that you get this years-
you can get it at the library ) and review the section on
Card Condition and then look at the pages with your set listed.
The condition of the most expensive cards will determine the value of
your set. If you want to sell it you can expect that you will
get less than the book value that you determined.
Don't be discouraged it's a wonderful set. If your not in a hurry
there are some notes that would look at it and tell you what it's
worth. All you would have to pay is the postage and the insurance.
Good Luck.

Do they still play baseball in Cincy?

| 289.2 | my father has the set | VERGA::GIANCOLA | Donna Giancola | Thu Jul 18 1991 15:09 | 11 |
| Hi Mike,
I don't have the set my father does. He's not in a hurry for anything.
We were just talking about the notes files yesterday and he asked me if
there was one on sports and asked if I would put a note in. He was
curious about the worth of the cards. What other notes were you
referring to in your message? Point me in the direction and I'll go
looking...
Thanks,
Donna

| 289.3 | Can't type, can't take shorthand | ASDS::KELLY | | Thu Jul 18 1991 15:56 | 7 |
| Hi Donna,
Sorry, My keyboard skills arn't at the 8th grade level. I
wanted to say other noters meaning the people who use this notes
file. If you want I'll be happy to look at the cards for your father.
Please give me a call if he wants to do that. I live in Boston
so they would have to be shipped.
Mike

| 289.4 | This might help | DECXPS::WALWORTH | | Thu Jul 18 1991 16:22 | 14 |
| Donna,
I was looking in my July issue of Tuff Stuff there is an ad on
page 41 about buying baseball cards. Alan Hager Group Inc. want
to buy complete and partial sets of the following baseball cards.
1941 Playball set (72) vg-ex $4000.00 excellent $7000.00
nrmt-$12500.00
tel# 203-329-7054
Those prices are what they are willing to pay not what the set is truly
worth.

Ya If I had a set of cards worth a min of $4K
I'd send it via MAIL to some people I don't know too 8^)

| 289.7 | Don't mail them | EBBCLU::MONDALTO | | Mon Jul 22 1991 08:27 | 8 |
| Take them to a Reputable Dealer,don't even think of mailing them,
they'll probably never get to its destination,for some reason I
don't trust the postal service,lately all my mail arrives unsealed
and it looks like it was open at the Post Office.Last week I recieved
an open tube that was supposed to have a sheet of the starting lineup
cards that I sent away for,then I had to go to the P/O and complain,it
did no good....... John

| 289.8 | My mama didn't raise no fool... | VERGA::GIANCOLA | Donna Giancola | Mon Jul 22 1991 08:49 | 13 |
| Thanks for your input. I have no intentions on mailing the cards
anywhere. That's like asking for trouble. Even if these cards are not
worth as much as someone has stated, it's really not a good idea to
mail it to anyone; especially someone you don't know from Adam. I
didn't fall off the turnip truck yesterday and my mama didn't raise no
fool.
I think my father just wanted a rough idea of what they might
be worth seeings how they are 50 years old. He is not an avid
baseball card collector so he was just curious about the worth.
Thanks for your replies...
Donna
