Default Which collections should have provenance?

Posted By: Joann

I like the idea of having cards from significant collections identified as such. Not famous people, not important cards, significant collections.

I picked up my E102 Crawford from our Fearless Leader's site, and one of the reasons I wanted that one was definitely the "Nagy Collection" designation. I'm not sure why it matters, I just kind of like the idea.

I also would have paid more in the last REA auction for anything labeled as being from Julie Vognar's collection, as she was (as far as I know and can tell) by far the most advanced female collector. I'm not sure why her cards were not so identified, and even may have tried for one anyway except that I couldn't pick out which were hers.

(Of course, I will be on the prowl for "Carl Jones my next door neighbor" cards, because that is just too classically funny.)
