2 Demmitt St. Louis cards Glued to a Toolbox Lid

Keep it intact, have Beckett slab it.

I was bidding on it as well, but my bid was only $383, I didn't want to pay that much for 2 Demmitts I don't think you could get off that tool box lid. I was hoping no one else paid attention to it.

I was just doing some random ebay searches when I found that auction, almost did not take the time to look at the pictures, and when I saw 2 Demmitts, I could not believe it.

That piece is perfect the way it is. I wouldn't dream of trying to remove the cards.

I bid on it with the intention of removing one of the Demmitts to sell and leaving the other Demmitt and all other cards intact as is.

I bought it with the intention of removing the cards... but the more I think about it that plan may change. I was going to sell one of the Demmitts, along with the Cy Youngs and HOFs, to basically get a Demmitt for free but now I worry I might be destroying the true value (not to mention possibly the cards as well) in separating them. I can't wait to see it up close! Once I get them and take some better pics I may put a poll up and let the good people of Net54 decide it's fate.

So what did you think after receiving the lid?

The lid is totally amazing. For starters the toolbox lid itself is SOLID. It has a lot of weight to it and a ton of character. The cards are obviously in rough shape but as a whole it presents well. They are glued on from the back side only so I think I could remove the two Demmitts but I have decided to keep it together as one piece. I currently have it hanging on my wall by the hinges which works perfectly. I am trying to find a more suitable method of display like an antique wood/glass display coffee table. Here is a photobucket link to some better pics:
