Curious question re: Obak

Curious question re: Obak
I have a pretty fair amount of 2011 Tristar Obaks (regs + minis) & am curious to get some of your thoughts on this series of cards in general. I'm still working on getting my Organize finalized to show what I have but really this question is more general in nature. I looked on eBay & there's very little buying activity in the Obak area. Are they just sorta 'whatever' cards or are there folks out there that really like them? I see some decent book values but very little chatter/activity out there.

Thanks for any help.

Chris

RE: Curious question re: Obak
The Obak series does not get much hobby love. I would be interested in the mini's only because I collect tobacco-sized mini's. The set itself isn't that pretty but I'm slowly warming to it. Once you have the mini's loaded in your Org shoot me an offer, I'll trade anything I have for the mini's.

Most people don't care for them. Some collect them but not a whole lot.

I'm actually a big fan of these - I'm building the '10 and '11 sets right now. I'm pretty sure all my set needs are listed, but let me know when you get your stuff uploaded and I'll take a look!

I agree that on the Bay, they don't seem to get much attention - these aren't the most aesthetically pleasing cards out there, but I think they're great.

Petesa - I'll make sure my obak minis are loaded and shoot you an offer! I'm building the sets, but am only holding on to a handful of the minis. I have a ton and would love for them to go to a good home.

I'm a player collector and am looking for certain players from those sets. Usually Hall of Famers that most people have never heard of.
I collect Hall of Fame baseball player cards and cards of current and retired superstars.

Is the want list on your site up to date? Lmk and I'll take a look for those if you'd like.

RE: Curious question re: Obak
Obaks are some of my favorite cards. There are so many interesting facts on the non-player cards, and they actually bother to relate the non-player cards to baseball for the most part. I actually learn a lot of new "fun facts" from the cards, so I think they're neat!

I'm also building a few of the sets, so if any of the other set builders here want to swap doubles I'm all for it.

Cool - I checked you but didn't see anything. All my wants are listed, and I'll get started loading my dupes in case you can use any of them.
