CATALOGUE VALUES AND ESTIMATES
The prices quoted in the catalogue column are the current catalogue values. These are not Starting Prices or Estimates. Prospective buyers can bid whatever level they consider to be fair depending on the condition or scarcity. Lots may sell at varying degrees of the catalogue price (e.g. 20% to 100% +). Market forces will decide. In some instances no catalogue value is given, this occurs with cards that are unlisted or in mixed accumulations, where we have given an estimated value as to what the lot may sell for. Cigarette card valuations are from the current edition of Murray's Cigarette Card Values.
