N173 King Kelly Portrait How scarce is it?

[barrysloate]

The Kelly batting pose is a relatively common one, as N173's go. He was among the players that were most often ordered from Goodwin, and the batting pose is what was sent out. The street clothes portrait is genuinely rare and is among a small number of N173 of which no corresponding N172 pose is known.

Value is subjective, as two collectors could take the item to the max if they both have to have it. Tough one to assign a value.

Here is the last one to come to auction that I know of. At least four exist.

Someone got a great deal on that one!

Wow. 4 is not many. Somebody indeed got a great deal.

I wonder if the pop for this Hastings card of Kelly is comparable. Any thoughts, anyone?

[ullmandds]

wowsers!!!! I'd presume that hastings cabinet is as rare...if not rarer than the n173...BEAUTY!!!!
