You better get some steroids for that bidding finger. My sense is that this is a big boy lot.

Those cards are a spectacular find!!

Just a guess, but $250K+ for the Cy Young card alone?

It was from his personal collection, looks just like the Just So card, and personally autographed.

Thoughts?

Tony--I think you are Way over. First, cabinets always sell for less than similar cards. The Old Judge McGreachery proof, even though it has a better image and is in better shape than the N172, would sell for a lot less. Second, there is no proof that the cabinet came before the Just So, and really no proof that it was Cy Young's. For example, Young could have come across this group in the mid-1930s and, since he had little interest in them himself, sent them to a friend who he thought might like them. Finally, why would Cy Young autograph his own cabinet if it was in his collection? I think the Young cabinet is in the $25K-$50K range at best, assuming the signature is genuine. I wonder if it has a COA from PSA/DNA or Spence.

So the envelope addressed in his own handwriting with period stamps was used for something else? Doubtful.

On another topic, does the "8 pictures" notation on the envelope mean there is a another cabinet card that was originally in the envelope?
