| Help with really old baseball card??? |
|
I have a Topps 206 card from 1919. The guy's name is freeman and he played on the team from toledo in those days. Anybody know how much it is worth? It is from the back of a tobacco box (all cards were in those days) and it isn't in beckets |

The card is of Jerry Freeman, who played in the majors for Washington in 1908-09. After that he played for the Toledo Mudhens of the American Association, considered a minor league at the time. |

??? look it up in beckett's magazine Topps didn't produce a baseball card set until 1951. Maybe the card you have is a more recent reprint of an old card. Does it actually say Topps on it? Nope Where did you get the card from?? Passed down from grandfather/great grandfather? couple thousand if its in good shape It is worth pocket change. Topps didn't produce card sets until 1951, but in recent years has decided that creativity is overrated and begun recycling old designs from long-gone companies where there are no IP issues. One such design is the "206" set, and that's what you've got. I don't know but send it to me in the mail and I will find out. Topps didn't make cards until 1951 & what you have maybe a new card from either 2005 or 2006. Topps has been making cards of today's players with the cards looking like the style of old cards. They have made sets that look like the styles of the 1957, 1956, 1955 Topps sets & Bowman is doing the same thing. Topps is doing that with other sets too like the old Cracker Jack's cards. If your card is from 1919 it is made by a tobacco company & could be worth some $$$, so check out a Beckett or a Sport Collector's Digest Baseball Card Price Guide. Beckett monthly doesn't list old cards like 1919. |
