Let's see your Cap Anson cards. I've been looking for a N172 in uniform.

I presume there are many folks that are looking for N172 Anson in uniform. I believe there are about five known examples (one in the NY Met museum), with the last example to trade hands went for well over $50k over a decade and a half ago. I am quite sure that it would be at least a six figure card if and when one became available.

I'd equally assert that such card is in such high demand that it may likely transact privately if one of the few examples extant trades hands.

What Marc said.

Anson in uniform would easily be a 6 figure card if one would come to market and you will have an easier time raising the 250k plus that it would cost (IMO) than you will finding one to buy.

Now if you were just looking for a scan of one, that is much easier to find :-)

I can put on a uniform and take a picture, if you want the bargain version.

There are four known copies of Anson in Uniform. Three are in private hands and one is in the Burdick collection at the Met.

What - somebody didn't steal it from the Met back in the 70s or 80s?..... I digress....
