Wasn't the provenance pretty good? I forget the details now. I do recall some people being pissed when the family/Heritage held back huge numbers of them and later flooded the market, if I am remembering that part of it correctly.

A separate thread entirely, I just don't get the appeal of an uncirculated 110 year old card in gem mint condition. Much like the Tango Eggs find, they should trade at a discount to to the "real" thing.

Are you saying the cards in those finds were not legit?

I have no idea whether they were legit or not, they have no appeal to me and just look odd in gem mint condition. The appeal of a pre-war card to me is the journey they have been on for over a century, give me a card that shows signs of use and no doctoring any day of the week.

I get that, but to me if a century old item has somehow managed to survive in untouched condition, that's miraculous and wholly apart from monetary considerations I would be thrilled to own it.

I do understand the appeal, it's just not for me. To me having a card that is in good condition after being in the general population for over a century has more appeal. I also like my Cracker Jacks with some caramel stains.
