It was fascinating to see so many original cards that had never really seen the light of day since the 1880's. Great stuff.

The thing that disappoints me is that I wish the collection was broken up into several lots so that more people could bid on it. There are cards in there that I would like to own, especially the Williamson and Mascot, and possibly the King Kelly, but they are part of such a large lot that I could never participate. I bet that a lot of other OJ collectors on this board feel the same way. It is great for the multi-millionaire but not so good for the small collector who would just like one particular card.
