I saw the documents at the National, and they're very cool, regardless of their monetary value. As someone who does a lot of archival research in one of my other lives (as a theater historian), and as a longtime student of early baseball history (and a member of SABR's 19th century e-mail list), I'm excited, though I hope scans of the documents will remain available to researchers.
