This looks really nice, but since no one's bidding on it I assume it's over-priced. Thoughts?

GRRRRR!!!! You've found one of my pet peeves, jerks that break up A&G albums and sell them by the page instead of keeping them intact. It would be interesting to know how many of the A28 and A29 albums are still intact, since almost ell of them are now sold off by the page. I can't remember the last time I ever saw an intact one for sale.

Although I can't say for sure that TIK did this, none the less, someone at one point ruined a truely beautiful album. It pisses me off that people will ruin these geogeous pieces simply for greed's sake. To me, it's the same as these idiot card companies buying vintage uniforms and equipment, then chopping them and using them as insets in their cards. The most egregious example I am aware of the was the jerkoff that bought Terry Sawchuck's leg pads, the only pair he wore his whole career, and cut them up to make insets for his cards (I forget which company it was). This should have been in the HOF and chopped up like some stolen car.

The best quote I ever heard on the whole 'chop shop' mentality in the new card hobby was, "It's like taking the Mona Lisa, cutting it into little pieces and selling them off. Sure, you own a piece of the Mona Lisa, but without the context of the whole picture, that small piece is worthless and the beauty and the ability to move you emotionaly are gone."

I couldn't agree more. The problem with albums is they are hard to show off without hurting them. I've seen several nice albums taken apart and framed in an "artistic" fashion with matting (along with the string and covers). They make a great display for the office and remain in totality. Short of doing that, I can only enjoy looking at all the covers with the albums in mylar.

I've never seen an intact album "live", but it looks like if you put all the pages back together again it would be like new. Was there some sort of cutting or other destruction involved?

For most albums, they were just just bound with string, thus you see the holes with rip fairly often. A few of them were actually bound like softcover books. The only one I can say for sure is that way is the Flags of Nations and States, which I recently got.

You could prolly reassemble an album buying it page by page, but it would be much cheaper jsut to buy an entire album. Sort of the same thing with complete sets. The sum ofthe parts does not equal the whole, thus you rarely see complete sets of vintage cards ever offered.

As a point of reference pages from the Goodwin & Co. round album typically sell for $400-$500 in nice shape. I don't think the price on this is out of line. Good Luck!
