I shudder to think what that, and the sister 1915 set that we put together at the same time, would be worth now but it was a helluva lot of fun to put those together. Enjoy the hunt!

Oh wow Brian that is something you recognized your former card. I'm glad to have picked it up and plan to keep it for a while. I am enjoying the hunt, hard to locate good cards at good prices so I am being patient.
I take it you had the Dent-Kappel set...really nice cards.
$88K huh...I would gladly pay that amount for a complete 14 CJ set now!
What just the Cobb, Johnson, Wagner, Matty and Joe Jax cards would bring today!
