Interesting article in today's Vancouver Sun about these rarities....

This is a fascinating read! Grant, thanks for posting this.

Not that many have posted on this thread but any opinions on the hammer price? Assuming the PWCC sale on the Mantle was legit, the lot seemed to go pretty reasonable. I probably should have bid more. It is a fascinating issue and a great find.

had the cards not been glued into the album, or at least the mantle,
would have sold for double or more

Sale was legit.

What he said
 

I was "on it" till they updated the description to note they were glued in - that combined with the tape - "too risky" for me.

Anybody on the board happen to win?

I was close ..didnt see the update til late and backed off

What did it go for?

9750+ bp sales tax and shipping
So between 11700 and 12700

Thank you. Not a bad price, assuming the backs aren’t completely trashed on them. There should be a little money left on them for someone to part it all out.

That is what I was thinking but knowing you either leave it as it is or trash the only known album and might not even get cards with backs fully visible or intact made me pass.

These all share the same images as the 47-66 Exhibits, right?

Funny how great minds think alike
 

Without knowing what kind of glue and having no experience trying to soak glued exhibits out of a book AND combined with the tape stains - too risky for me.

IF you could get the cards out with only a bit of glue residue and no paper loss - yes, you would lose the album, but I believe have some only known copy dad's cookies cards - not to mention the Mantle of course. If they come out worse than they look now, I don't know...
