Posted By: <b>Paul Grubor</b><p>I just got a call from a person here in Wisconsin that has a 1954 Johnston Cookies uncut sheet. Has anyone ever of or seen one of these? Also, they are interested in selling the item but I'm not sure what a fair price would be.<br />My guess would be at least $3000.00 if the condition is em to nm or better.<br />Any help regarding this would surely be appreciated. <br /><br />Thanks,<br /><br />Paul

Posted By: <b>Paul Grubor</b><p>Hi Anthony, How much more than three thousand? I really want to buy the item and pay a fair price. would an offer of six thousand be fair? Its so hard buying unique items because there's no track record. <br /><br />Paul

Posted By: <b>dennis</b><p>it looks as if there would be 6 sets+ on that sheet, so if you use the REA auction as a guide, that sheet there could go for well over $25,000 at auction. the REA auction is from 2004.

Posted By: <b>Leslie Westbrook</b><p>The sheet appears to be 18 cards by 13 cards. Shouldn't it be 18x14? Am I missing something here?

Posted By: <b>dstudeba</b><p>Good catch Leslie. In comparison to the REA sheet it looks like the bottom 3 groups do not have the double print Logan to Walters row that the top 3 groups have. Thus making those 6 cards 1.5 prints instead of double prints.

Posted By: <b>Paul Grubor</b><p>Well the person that has this piece emailed me and told me they were offered $40,000.00 for the sheet back in 1977. She then added that a panel of 42 sold for $8000.00 at an auction. I emailed her back and told her good luck and God bless! I was going to offer her $8000.00 but I didn't even bother after reading her email. Oh well, guess I'll just keep buying those 50's and 60's cards. Thanks for all your help and comments. <br /><br />Paul

Posted By: <b>davidcycleback</b><p>With the next person, she'll probably claim she got an offer of $50,000 in 1967.<br /><br />I remember a eager email seller trying to convince me that the 1987 Topps Mark McGwire would be the next T206 Honus Wagner, with asking price commensurate. I told him I didn't think the 1987 Topps Mark McGwire would be the next 1991 Topps Chipper Jones.
