An outstanding citizen of this friendly community you are.
alas, sigh...I reflect on how small a value for 100 year old fragile thin artwork in such kept shape.
But lessee....how much was a pack of Mecca smokes back in the day? Anyone know? I also wonder who was smoking the Mecca's in my family back then. Pop always smoked cigars and drank Falstaff.
On another note, looks like the approximate values for offers are posted here....any offers?
Hopin my slabs come in the mail today.

Might I impose upon your kind nature to see if there is any VCP data available on the Bresnahan/Huggins?
Or perhaps a PSA 5 Jennings/Summers, Bender/Oldring, Brown/Hofman ?
May you be blessed by open doors to most excellent Bowman and Goudey gap fillers,
thanks

Everyone who has looked at the last two thinks they should be at least 5's. But...the dice has rolled.

2 1 14155600 EXCELLENT 5 1911 T201 MECCA DOUBLE FOLDERS C.BENDER/R.OLDRING Card US
3 1 14155601 VERY GOOD-EXCELLENT+ 4.5 1911 T201 MECCA DOUBLE FOLDERS SUMMERS/JENNINGS Card US
Real satisfied with the Bender/Oldring. Surprised by the Brown/Hofman.
Will post scans when I get them tomorrow or Monday.
Gosh, this is a non-predictable process...
Not even in the ballpark (2 off) on some estimates. Knew the Bender/Oldring was above par, but did not think the others were down there.
Of course, none of you guys have ever had these feelings.... 8-)
