This set is different. This set is actually worth more than the sum of it's parts. It would be virtually impossible to assemble it from scratch today without one of the other 2-3 very large collections of them coming to market.....and the 3 I know of won't be. This set will not be sold for what each card would bring at auction. It will sell based on what it is and stands for.
