Sweet. I was watching those. As you are likely aware, the Lange is from the 1899-00 M101-1 Sporting News Supplements set. The Griffith is from the scarcer 1898-99 National Copper Plate Set. The hole punches on the National Copper Plate issue are common as they were bound together in a portfolio of 50.
I picked up the Bobby Wallace National Copper Plate and am thrilled with the hammer price. It's been on my "want list" for years.
