I actually have something nice to say...

I got one today also. High quality photos. Only complaint is the photos getting partially lost in the binding of the catalog.

are there prices?

[glchen]

No prices, you need to call Doug Allen to get it. I think they're trying to sell the entire set as one lot w/o breaking it up, so there is no question that the price is going to be huge. There's Mathewson, Wagner, Young, practically all of the big cards. Crazy set. Any opinions on where this ranks in terms of the most valuable sets ever? (I'm sure a complete T206 set w/ Wagner, Doyle, and Plank would probably be worth more, however.)

I got mine today too, and it's really nice to see all the E107's pictured together. I'm sure there are quite a few I've never seen before.

Not sure what happened with your book. My book has all the images well clear of the staples; all images are sharp and beautiful. Hats off to Legendary for doing a great job!

Because they're rarer? Or because people like to collect black and white pictures of men in street clothes?

Did anyone else notice that the Chance, Clark, Joss, Matthewson, McGraw, Plank, and Wagner all exhibit the exact same toning pattern on the reverse of the cards? Most of the verso's were not shown, but I wonder how many others cards in the Sullivan collection exhibit the same pattern?

My guess is that some of these E107s came out of an album that had corner holders similar to the ones many postcards have. In any event whoever this early collector was, he had a fabulous collection!

For $750K, you might get the Wagner & Mathewson.

I'm thinking the price tag is closer to $1.8 to $2 million.

Great catalog, it will be in my reference library forever.

ha, exactly, and the fact that they are not cartoons of players.

Sorry if I missed this, but are these going to be on display at the National? I would love to see these in person.
