The Buchner Gold Coin cards put back together to form the advertising poster is pretty amazing. I know I've seen a thread about those cards before either here or on the nonsports side. Did the seller get all of them in a single lot or has he been piecing them together individually?

Here is a thread in which I posted a Lew Lipset sale catalogue from 20 years ago which had that same Buchner Gold Coin sheet on the cover, with the same cards missing. He was selling it for $2500. At the National it was being displayed by Terry Knouse of Tik n Tik; I'm not sure if he bought it from Lew back in 1997, or if it went through other owners since then.
