I'm at work, and can't see ebay but am very curious about what the final price was. Can someone post it?!? I am too impatient to wait until I get home!
BTW - I love the discussion of this auction. I found it very early, and was greatly intrigued. Too much of a risk for me though! I too was scared off by the glare, but thought some more and thought that if the seller was intuitive enough to bend the pages on the right side, weather the book, use flat-leaded (those markings are NOT graphite) pencils that they had back in the day - than they would have been intelligent enough to eliminate the glare on many of the cards. And plus, I do know that some of those cards had some type of glossy finish. Also, that Wagner looks 100% authentic, and not too thinned at all. Last edited by npa589; 05-05-2011 at 02:11 PM.

Stupidly staring as always
I am one of the believers (and lower bidders) on this auction. I felt they were authentic, based upon years of stupidly staring at similiar cards. Some of them may be skinned, which would be a bummer for the winning bidder.
Also, I don't know what to make of the unknown cards. I lean toward that they were clippings that were later colored in, so not really cards at all. It would be interesting to find out the results of their removal as well as the rest of the cards. Still way too much for this lot because of all the severe trimming. Brian

Wow, absolutely crazy price for that thing! Dan, I'm willing to bet those "uncataloged" cards are simply homemade, the original owner apparently had a love affair with his scissors. So many better ways (in my mind at least) to spend that kind of coin. I have a hard time thinking there is much meat left on the bone if the seller decides to break it up and soak them.

Glue, Scissors, and Skinning
I thought that those cards (Cicotte, et al) were homemade as well. Perhaps even some e135 cutouts and then reglued to cardboard. If it was a scam, it was one of the most sophisticated scams I have seen. To have some highly desirable cards (even cards that are not commonly recognized) mixed in with more commonly seen stuff and then not mention those desirable cards would be exceedingly brilliant for a scammer.
