A typical 1960's Cicotte 3X5 should retail for about $400-450. I have sold two or three at that price. Gandil should be priced at least twice as high, if not more. These are strictly retail estimates. Cicotte, although always in demand, is a fairly easy acquisition. Gandil's availability seems to come and go in waves. I might see a few availablie in two months, then there will be a drought that lasts for six months-one year. Both Gandil and Cicotte didn't seem to grant many requests until the final decade of their lives. Cicotte lived under an assumed name for many years to avoid talk of the scandal.

Edit: Chris: I was the underbidder on the Gandil 3X5 you mentioned.
