Hagen 8
Jones 9
Great looking cardboard!
Hagen-7
Serezen-9
I guessed 7 for the Hagen simply because of the MC. It may come back with a qualifier. Freaking nice 80-year-old cards though!

I admit I know absolutely nothing about these cards, but if I had to guess I would say they are reprints - they just look too good...way too white for a card that old, unless they've been bleached.

I was thinking the exact same thing when I saw these cards. I can't see these being real cards and being that white after 80 years.
For what its worth

When I scanned these cards I made them as bright as possible to show detail. Here is the untouched scan. I bought these as part of the complete set. I hope they are real!
Actually they could or could not be reprints. Some Churchman's were reprinted later and have different types of identifiers on the back, some even have a lillte different backs with the same fronts and some have nothing different, which in a sense makes some later reprints a moot point, as in certain issues they are all called the earliest date of printing. Those are at best questionable, and color of the paper really has nothing to do with it, I have 1888 Kenni's with whiter borders than those, I just don't buy the back, it looks like a later reprint, but I don't really know the issue. And good luck with PSA knowing the difference, I have 40-50 different Non Sports that are labeled Re-print, that aren't, and numerous of the same that are Re-prints, that are not labeled as such.
Grades are 9, 7, 7.5, or Grader # 2 they are 9, 8, 8.
It's all a crap shoot.

Actually it does - It is very difficult if not virtually impossible to duplicate the aging process look of titanium dioxide, the whitening agent in paper. When you've looked at tens of thousands of cards like I have, I can spot a phony card a mile away just from the way the white of the card looks. That being said, with the different way cards are scanned, this isn't always easy to tell on a computer screen.
edit to add.. hope I wrong.. even when I see high grade goudey or whatever.. my reaction is there is no way that card survived with perfect corners..
especially when card collecting wasn't thought of the way it is now
T222's PSA 1 or better
If they are company reprints who cares.
I doubt very much that some scammer reprinted them.
Many of these sets never saw the back of a cigarette pack, many were back doored or cut up later from sheets.
Nice cards, I bet the seller claimed they were very good. lol
