I had my hands on the exact same Cap Anson and the back carried the same advertisement just a different section. Both were sold to me as a lot. Obviously cut from the same banner. The Cap sold immediately for what I paid for the pair to a private collector and Heritage put a pleasing estimated value on it after the fact. So a little sellers remorse as that went. The plan was to keep them together and auction in Chicago later this year but times got hard and the wife even harder and since the Anson did well I decided on a quick turn around on EBay with the "King". I have had some nice offers and input and I thank everyone for there interest I am confident this historic piece o baseball history will go to a good home. By the way so glad to be a voice in this forum now and look forward to hearing some great collecting stories.

Heritage couldn't figure out these were from the album?

Who did you deal with at Heritage that told you that these came from a banner not the album? Can you please share his or her name?

Also what kind of "pleasing estimated value" did they tell you?

Heritage is going to have to amend the text to reflect what these really are. Once they do that, bidders can determine their value.

Another interesting note. I asked the seller what he knew about the King Kelly cut-out card he was selling and how he came to own it. This was his response.

"I sell some cards through one of the last existing card shops in my area and there is a elderly gentleman that brings some vintage in from time to time. We became friendly and he showed me some of his private collection with time I was able to purchase my first card a Ruth strip in amazing condition but it came with a catch he would only sell me that card if I bought the Cobb from the same series in the same condition. From then on he let me pay with payments and I have gotten some amazing pieces like a small black and white hand tinted Ruth/ Gehrig tobacco that only one other has ever been seen at auction. Anyways these two he had (Anson/King) and I fell I love with them it took me 5 months to pay him for these so yes I am very surprised to hear that a similar card went for so little."

Meanwhile, here's the link to the completed ebay item for the card that he won last month.

Sounds like both the elderly gentleman and the card shop owner knew little to nothing about the set.

There is no elderly gentleman (and probably no card shop)...he bought the card off ebay from some guy in Australia

I was thinking that too, but wanted to give him the benefit of the doubt....

in austrailia at an interesting time in card production history. My N162 album came to me by way of austrailia and I bought a few "footballers" and other goodwin related items that were available during that time period....

What's the world coming too when you can’t take the word of guy named "Tbags” when it comes to provenance on something of value?

I guess the “Old Man” was in Australia yet it took 5 mos. to pay him on the eBay sale…must have sent the payment by tramp steamer.
