Just to be clear, I wasn't bashing. I just think it would be interesting to hear how this group was put together.

The Alleghenys were found as a set and kept as a set (for awhile). The Alphas were also found as a set and kept as a set (for awhile). After the first time the set was broken up, a single collector tracked them all down and built the set again. An amazing story. I'd like to hear what happened with these Pirates. Why are they so rare compared to the Pirate cards that picture Chinese people on the front? And how did almost all of them end up in one place? Richard's explanation is a good start, but it still seems like there should have been a few more smaller hoards outside the US.
