I doubt anyone is collecting this set, it's too rare and obscure. I would guess virtually the entire value is in the Gibsons. To find two is astonishing, unless many have surfaced since I bought mine a few years ago after looking forever.

My dad grew up near Omaha and said he attended the Cardinals games as a kid. I don't remember the exact year he gave these to me, but thinking it was at least 20 years ago. I never gave it much of a thought until I stumbled across them last night. My curiosity led me to looking them up for the first time and that's when I realized I had something special. Makes me wonder how many others may be out there like this - someone having it passed along to them without knowing what they have all these years and still sitting packed away.
