One non-sports dealer had a case of original baseball 1970s Laughlin art on display, including this stack of Baseball Firsts. Asked him about pricing in larger groups and he talked around the idea, always referring to one card at a time. Hard to tell why! Perhaps he was worried about mis-valuing something, since he described himself as "limited in baseball knowledge." I hope he stores them better once back at home. That art is fragile and bits of original paper were flaking off as the glue wore out and shoppers handled these cards.
