South Texas/ North Mexico Arrowheads

[Jcerda87]

I currently have a huge collection of arrowheads collected over 47 yrs by my grandparents in south Texas/northern Mexico anahuac Nuevo Leon to be exact, is there a market for them?

Sure there's a market and knowing where they all came from might increase the interest of collectors who like to know where they came from. For me the ones I've personally found I will give as gifts or trade, but never felt right about selling those for money. I felt that when I was lead to the discovery of an artifact, it was done as a gift to me from those who left it there.

I understand where you're coming from but they are very old and unfortunately how the economy is I need the money

If they are all similar to the ones you have posted they are not worth very much. They are field grade points discarded by the maker when they were worn out.

There is a market, but understand yours are what are called field grade points and are not worth a lot, they are more valuable as a family heirloom.

I don’t buy or sell but I was just looking at triangles in overstreet and they were valued at 2-5$ for the most part, and those were a little more fully formed I’d say low single digits a point would be a place to start
Could you get a more clear pic of this one? Just might be wishful thinking but maybe I see a flute?

There are some really neat crescents and notched points from NL & Coahuila, but most of what people find are those little triangles and stemmed points. Not a lot of monetary value to most collectors.

They are probably worth more in Mexico, people who make artesanias (wire wrapped pendants, bracelets, etc. occasionally use them instead of crystals and agates.)

Currently the market for Points is all about high end rarity and exceptional quality. Field grade points don't hold much interest to buyers. I probably have over 300 points from paleo to archaic and some arrowheads listed on other sites as well as Ebay and nobody much cares. If I put an upper end high quality point up, it catches attention quickly.
You can put them up as a whole collection on ebay for around $120. and may get some activity,

... agree, if I lived in that area and wanted specific examples, I would pay about that for this collection.
