So, is this pack worth over $3000.00 even if there is no card inside?

price
I remember reading the article too as a kid, thus what made me have to buy the pack now.
It came with two copies of the Beckett magazine from 1992 along with the Christies cataloge AND receipt from the buyer that purchased it from Christies in 1993. Lets just say that I paid considerably less than the $3000 that was paid for it in 1992. Then the Wagner was $400k... given inflation to almost $3m now. The only problem is we've learned more since then about what packs contained what!

Cool pack. That said, I'm pretty sure the date is off. I don't have all of my notes in front of me (so I'll correct myself later if I'm wrong), but I believe L&M didn't acquire the Piedmont brand until at least 1911.

Went back and looked. It appears that L&M did not acquire the Piedmont brand until February 1912.
Guess the boys over at GAI overlooked that.

red print
The red print on the tax stamp is 1909. No other year listed.
I do believe that they used these stamps in following years however.
