The CDVs and cabinets were incredible. It's not too often we see this type of early pioneer day material in bulk. Hopefully it won't be too long before we see more.
What would be nice to see is pictures of the scrapbook before the material was removed.
You can only hope that who ever took possession of it did a good job of cataloging and taking pictures of it. If it were me, I'd have completely photo documented everything and provided that insight to the collecting public. It not only draws more interest to hobbyist, it also provides a good historical background that would attest to the provenance of the extracted material.
It'd be sad to think that anyone would just rifle through it and tear it apart without considering the hobby value of seeing how the scrapbook was pieced together by the original owner well over a century ago.
I hope who ever picked up the 1871 Forest City CDV (lot# 14) also picked up the Ezra Sutton CDV (not in an SGC holder - lot# 46). That would be an incredible companion piece to the team CDV.
