Interesting is right. I am doing a similar project. I am sure I have old Bebee's invoices as well. When I get there, I may post some too.

Thanks for sharing.

Interesting Hawaii $1 note! I have the consecutive serial # C00000280C CU and believe I still have the invoice for it for $60 bought in 1990 from Mid American.

mbwizkid: Look at those prices !!! That is wild !



I'm sure many of us would be in a bidding war for a 1933 $10 for $400, but $40 WOW.

Ted Kemm was an interesting guy. Bought a lot of notes from him. He used to set up at the New York Metropolitan shows until in the 1980's as I remember.

Interesting to compare $1 value from then to now and see what price variations there are.
