Jon CanfieldRichard - such a tough question to answer. Obviously some of the packs I own are fairly easy to locate (such as Helmar, Piedmont, SC, etc). Others are tougher to find or near impossible (Broadleaf, Lone Jack, AB, Ramly, etc). In order to maximize value, I certainly would sell them piece by piece but not sure what I would get for them. Never really thought about it to be honest.
Scott - to answer your question, the Sovereign in the best in the group and I would guess that, depending on condition, year, etc, I would probably ask $100-$150 for it. The others are easier to find albeit certainly more desireable with 1910 tax stamps. Mecca I would guess is around $50-$75 and Hlemar less - maybe $25.
On a side note, when I put that guide together, I never intended it to be a price guide as who knows what these things would sell for. I tried to assign some relative values to the packs but certainly the values I did assign are not always a good guage of what the packs would sell for.
