Anyone have a value on a E96 Proof ?

Here is a scan of a notebook (owned by a little girl, homework was from Sep/Oct 1913), Ive only seen 1 complete and 2 covers only.

I found the notebook on eBay in 1999 (sold it a few years ago), and before I found the notebook the cards were all thought to be proofs. I remember it well because one of my first questions I asked on the older FullCount board (before Net54) was about this notebook and it cause a big stir. Many collectors didnt want to hear that their so called "proofs" may really be a cutout from a notebook. In my opinion they are still cards and were meant to be cut out, even more than some of the candy box cards. The way to tell is the stock is very thin compared to E95/E96 stock and many times it will have the burnt orange color around the border.



The cards are very rare overall, but sell for far less than the E95/E96 card. Ive seen 20 different.
