All's well that ends well. The item has been sold as is to a fellow board member (just awaiting transfer). We're both happy with the figure. In other words, I broke even and then some.
A few parting comments though:
1. Despite the near unanimous sentiment to leave the item as is, the poll suggests otherwise! Almost 2:1 in favor of cutting it up.
2. From what I have seen, I think it could've brought more than $1,500 for 10-12 separate items.
Even if each brought a very conservative $200 on average (save for Gehringer & Sisler), that's $2k minimum. Foxx/Hornsby/Ott would drive that average up considerably.
It's a moot point now, but I would be curious what it would've brought in an auction house setting.
Thanks again for the insight.
