Minor correction, but this is the only Speaker/Evers box known, not the only full box known.

Marc - the only Phillies item I recall was for some reason I think they had a silver bat from Mike Schmidt, but I could be completely wrong.

The 1910 Obak Display Album is incredible. The cards, other than being pasted neatly in to the appropriate spaces, appear NMT. If I weren't taking the lids and grandkids to Disney World I'd go strongly after it. I wonder if the winning bidder will carefully remove the cards and have the #1 set on the Registry or leave it alone. I hope he leaves it alone, this is a 1 of a kind item.

Since I don't have the catalog yet, I can only imagine the 1910 obak display album. If I recall correctly, the other album I saw had the "cards" printed as part of the album, and they weren't separate. Perhaps that is something different.

Hi Max! Nope, these are actual cards, not images of the cards. Absolutely gorgeous. 2 cards have shaken loose but the rest are all firmly mounted with back paste. If the paste is, and I believe it probably is, that flour based paste you see from the 1910's, they COULD be removed and despending on how neatly done, you would have an incredible set. I hope the winning bidder leaves them as is but I wouldn't blame him for being tempted.
