T206CollectorA few weeks ago, I learned about some Mastro auctions from April 2001 that contained many signed deadball era cards that I had never known existed. By using Mastro's "back door," I was able to see many of them. Now, I hold little if any aspiration to ever find the owner of the signed T206 Lajoie I saw, but just the knowledge that it is out there has improved my collection -- it provides a road map, a legitimate wish list. I can sense you appreciate the same concept in your Howe pursuit.
I suspect the lot will be bought and then broken down. If the ultimate buyer learns that two people love Howe, it would make sense to sell them and upgrade. They may trickle down to ebay or even find you directly through Net54. Keep in mind that you have market forces on your side.
Good luck!
