Is having provenance or a pedigree on holder good

[clamendo]

I posted on this last year. I think it’s very difficult today to prove where the cards came from. I was able to obtain a pedigree on a football lot from the Copeland Collection. He had a thirst for high grade and the Soethby’s auction of his collection spawned grading, sports memorabilia auctions, spending big money on cards, etc. About 50% of the comments people cared and 50% didn’t (so they say). I know the history of the Wagner (from this auction), but to have all 250 cards pass through the gauntlet (giving the much stricter grading, computer scanning, etc) and have everyone come back with a numerical grade is something. The grades varied but the run of Kahn’s probably averaged 6.5. I’ve been thinking about merging my Kahn’s cards with Copeland’s, if it’s a tie I’ll keep his. It’s a tough decision. ‘59,’61,’62’63’ and ‘64K If anyone is interested shoot me a PM.
