I wouldn't pay a premium for something from a nice find of cards or if it were owned in the past by a renowned collector. However, cards of this nature are interesting in their own right because they are a piece of card collecting history. It's like there's a story behind the card. There might not be another find of cards as significant as this Oregon Find and 20 years from now it would be interesting to say I remember that find of cards, I even have a card from that batch.

As far as the Sunday card goes John is correct, Sunday wasn't exactly a trail blazer (.248 LTBA, only one season with 500+ at bats) like Larry Corcoran (who won 170 games in his first 5 seasons) but Sunday does have an odd cult following - why, I have no idea.
