Tim NewcombThis set has quietly taken off in the past three years. In early 2004 I built most of it very quickly and cheaply, mostly on ebay. In fact I accumulated 75 of them, including Gandil, Kelley, and McGinnity, for about $1000 (average condition weak VG).
But they have since dried up dramatically and I've been stunned by the prices I'm seeing lately. The Leland's set went for about $6000 (well over $60 per card) including juice and it wasn't a super high grade set by any means.
I always thought of C46 as generally paralleling 1910-11 Obaks in scarcity and price but I think it has pulled a bit ahead of them.
