I am tracking an auction for a T213 Ames Cincy card (arms over head)

I have searched eBay's completed listings for this card but have not found one that has the same back as this one....

The auction is at $10 with a few days left and I was wondering if anyone has knowledge of this card and could give me some advice on how high I should bid for this guy.

The quality of it seems fair.

    Just as a friendly FYI, it's not a T206 card. It's a T213-2 Coupon Cigarettes card.

    Well thank you very much! I do not know much except 60's topps and I want to get into some older cards. Thank you I will search that on eBay and maybe find some. (I found a few on eBay last time but none with the same back)

    Just searched eBay's finished listings of all T213 cards and none are the one above. Will do some googling unless anyone here can give a guestimation on value of the card

    It is a 1914 card.
    1914 T213 Coupon Cigs. Type 2

    It is a pop 4 with highest graded a PSA 3, but will likely grade a 1. I don't think it is valued over $50 if graded, but I don't study these cards. To note: Total population of all cards has PSA 6 as a pop 1 with none higher for all cards so keep an eye out for a higher grade one.

    If you're looking to immerse yourself in prewar, buying a small grouping of beater T206s will teach you a lot. There is something very tangible about handling them directly and learning about their printing idiosyncrasies.

    I would not place much emphasis on pop reports for this particular card. Prewar guys aren't going to be in a fervor to get this card graded, because as secretstash indicated, it would probably grade a 1 / POOR due to the paper loss on the reverse.

    I don't follow Coupon values, but I wouldn't pay more than $25-$30 for it. Keep in mind the buyer's premium if you're buying from an auction house that utilizes them.

    I don't dabble in much prewar BB, but I've got to get a copy of that Jennings pose. Classic!
