I was the winning bidder on the trunk lid on eBay. I was very happy with the final price. I have often felt that this set was undervalued as it is quite attractive and features a number of big leaguers, as well as being the only major pre-war Canadian release. I believe the cards are at least as scarce if not more so than the mainstream US minor league releases of the time.
I have also wondered about the evidence that this was an Imperial Tobacco release as it is stylistically entirely different from the Imperial Tobacco hockey and lacrosse issues of that era. Beautiful set nonetheless.
