I put a link in the eBay thread about this i have this set in mint condition and i was surprised by the asking price of it £895, I just wanted to know if it's really worth this amount.

Thanks

Edit, please note the set on eBay is not mine

I have collected all 56 cards with about 95% mint. When I looked in the Trading Card values book
of The London Cigarette Card company (of Somerton,Somerset UK) about a year ago each card was valued
at £12.50 each (mint condition). So 56 x £12.50 = £700 approx. but maybe more for a whole set.

It is very difficult to put together a complete set.

I had to acquire 3 partial sets over the years to get a complete one.

I've got two sets now actually, that one I put together, and the director of OHMSS, Peter Hunt's card set, that I got, along with his entire production archive, when he passed away.

Fantastic - I really enjoyed reading the book on the making of OHMSS

I have a couple of unopened packs and the counter display box, the set as has been stated was a bugger to complete!

Cool thanks for the info.
If i was to sell my set, as I'm not a bond collector, do you have any idea where to head with it? eBay?
