This is not the kind of thing I'm normally offered (well, I do get those 82 Kmart sets sometimes) and I don't know what a good price would be. Nor do I know if that '52 Bowman set is small or large. I think the book value is about $150K for the sets. And obviously condition is a factor. But what would be a fair price, assuming maybe VG condition?

Thanks for any help, and if I end up buying it I'll let you all know. Also I'll be offering that Kmart set for sale here, for sure.
