I'm probably gonna ask a stupid question but anyone know whose set this was? I checked the PSA site and it indicates it is Heritage's. Guessing that is a name change? Impressive set.

At one point Thomas Tull had the highest ranked set, not sure if someone topped that.

It is Don Louchios' set. I may looking at the Set Registry wrong, but it looks like this has been the top set for the last 15+ years.

Yeah it appears to have held top honors year after year. Thanks for the info. Looks like the gentleman "invested" wisely. As they say, buy and hold.

IMO, this is a historic offering. The time, effort and expense involved to put together the best T206 set on the planet is mind boggling. As I perused the auction, I reflected that; 1. collecting t206's at this level is a rich man's game,
2. the amount of bid capital already pledged is impressive, and who knows where it will end up, 3. that the condition quality of these cards, over 100 years old, is almost mystifying. How were they preserved in such pristine shape? 4. To replicate such a collection in the future will be almost impossible.

From someone who has handled, I would guess thousands of T206's, I am truly gobsmacked by this auction. To those bidding, good luck, and please don't cash in your 401k to play.
I bet the IRS will be watching this one closely.

But that's why I opened up a 401k in the first place.
