well
Dan, I understand your frustration, but not your logic, at least here. I would suggest that one of the main reasons these cards are going as high as they are is BECAUSE they are uncatalogued. There is always a mystique associated with uncatalogued cards, at least for some, who gotta have what they believe is super scarce. Personally, I find the cards to be only moderately attractive, and largely no-name players who should be enticing only to type collectors and Baltimore area collectors like yourself. So why do they command such $$$?? Again, I believe it's because of the uncatalogued factor.
If you would have leaked these out a couple years ago, the catalogs would have no or very little pricing info, and they would be far more conservatively listed. Stumbling upon one at a mall show might have set you back a few hundred dollars from some part-time dealer who looked at a price guide. You wouldn't get to steal one from some poor bloke who had absolutely no clue what he had if they were listed, but by the same token, you wouldn't face what you're obviously looking at now---upcoming catalogs showing these to be priced at four figures each. Thus, from a collector-buyer's standpoint, I would think you would want these cards to appear as common (or at least not so scarce as to be uncatalogued) as possible.

Dan: Geez
As I said; you've hit the rough edge of keeping hobby items a secret.
Now; most people will know how expensive those cards are AND you won't get the Grove reasonably to finish your set, But let's be honest as well; aren't you also partially upset at yourself for YOU could have been the one to cash in big time: http://www.hugginsandscott.com/cgi-b...l?itemid=16722 $30K without juice and counting. Not a bad day and as has been spoken; the consigner is thrilled. Now go out and sell yours and cash in. You'll feel better and your wife will appreciate the nice holiday gift you give her! Regards Rich P.S. And as for the rest of your secrets, as has been pointed out, better make sure you tell your children for otherwise when that day comes they might not even care about daddy's cards
