Woops, my mistake. Make that about 5k+ for the Mack then.....

I was going to say the same thing - $5k plus for the Mack...looks to be in pretty good shape and $15k-20k for the Brooklyn team cabinet IMO.

Can't quote a price, but quality stuff.

OK, what's the story behind the find? Are they new to the collecting world or just out of some old time collection?

New to the collecting world. Part of a larger group.

OP did not out the source so I will not either. (But it's not that obscure.)

I suspect the Mack will go well north of $5k. I am aware of only two others, and one of them (the fielding pose) does not have very good contrast. Despite that it sold for $13,900 in 2001. The other known one purportedly originated from the Mack family; it sold at auction for around $30K, again about 20 years ago. it is not surprising the card is so rare. Mack was not regarded as a prominent player and there was likely little demand for his cabinet card. Both of the other cards have brown mounts.
