Thinking about it, I may have over estimated the sell price. Probably closer to $300. I had the art for 1930s-60s wrestling and boxing sets and this Nagurski sold for the second most. The first was the c. 1960 Cassius Clay Exhibit, which I think sold for around $1000 But it Now.
Exhibit Supply stored all the art neatly in folders that were dated and labeled, so it was easy to tell which art was for which set. This included the 'ghost card' art. It also included notes on that were short printed, pulled early to be replaced by other cards-- and even included the day and date for the switch. And the collection came with a letter from the President of Exhibit Supply giving a history of the company and art.
As I said earlier, I know little about wrestling and wrestling cards, but was able to provide new information to the wrestling card checklists simply because I had the original art and notes. The guy who maintains the checklist would email me a current set checklist and have me go through the art and report back on differences. I was more an office secretary than a historian.
