Title: Looking for help to value this set
Post by: rachel6233 on August 17, 2014, 06:45:02 AM: I've recently acquired this first edition Hermes set. It is complete except for the blue decks cardboard case. Anyone have any idea what it's worth?

Post by: TheBadJoker on August 17, 2014, 01:46:02 PM: I would guess & $75/$125

Post by: rachel6233 on August 17, 2014, 03:05:58 PM: Wow, really? They currently sell for that new in the Hermes stores so I believe a first edition set will be valued at a bit more than that but I will continue to do research. Thank you for the feedback though, I am just learning the ropes right now and every reply helps.

Lots of these show up on eBay etc so I think the $75-125 estimate is good.

The First Edition would possibly sell for more - but yours is also missing a tuck box.

I really appreciate the feedback I received here since this piece has been a bit unique as it fell into too categories of collections. I confess to not being very knowledgeable about playing cards and I value the opinions that I received here.

Rachel, he's trustworthy to deal with - Jackson's executed many trades on this board and made many people very happy with the results! He'll give you a fair deal, perhaps even better than fair.
