I thought the prices went quite a bit higher than I would have expected on just about all of these. Sometimes the hype and excitement about a new find like this often create a buzz that produces higher prices. If these had been sold one at a time slowly on ebay they would not have gone as high.

WOW!!, I missed these altogether, not that I would have bid at those prices. Regardless, this was a very interesting collection with the two 1887 Chicago Proofs for Goodwin & Co. (Geiss & Williamson). As Jay noted, we didn't know who took the 1887 Chicago photos and by extension the 1887 Detroit photos. Both the 1887 Chicago & Detroit cards share the same backdrop with fake grass covering the same floor pattern (i.e., same studio). So Gray Studio took most of the 1887 Photos, perhaps all but New York.
Great Stuff !!

If this seller is on the up and up, then why the hell did he open a new account just to sell these cards???
"Hi, I have been a seller on eBay for almost 12 years and my feedback numbers are almost 10,000 comments at a rating of 99.9% so please don't be concerned about my current 0 feedback number. I created this new account only to handle these specific items."

1. One scenario would be to simplify any tax consequences, assuming he was selling the cards as a favor for a friend/relative/neighbor/loan shark buddy etc. 2. He wasn't 110% sure they were real and did not want the negative feedback on his regular account. 3. Didn't want his wife, ex-wife, current-girlfriend, and the lawyer of his ex-wife to find out he has more $$$. Lovely Day... Last edited by iggyman; 05-10-2010 at 07:30 AM.

The answer would be scenario #1. These were being sold as a favor for a co-worker. Here's the sellers main user ID - LINK

Here are my guesses:
1) Donovan 2) Beckley 3) Cross 4) Hawley 5) ? 6) Kinslow 7) Mack I used the 1896 and 1897 Spalding Guides and would call my i.d.'s educated guesses. Great group of cabinets. Last edited by barrysloate; 05-10-2010 at 02:29 PM. Reason: Edited to correct #3
