How about that ’73 deluxe of “Captain Jack Crawford’S” at $625,000.00, or the engraved ’94 at $90,000.00, and the engraved 1903 at $110,000.00. I was bidding on 12 pieces , including Lot#1, (1886 c.c. 45-90), that went for $19,000.00. I didn’t buy a thing, but it sure made Me appreciate the ones I have a little more, especially the #5 Patterson I recently purchased. They told Me it was a record sale at over $24,000.000.00. Just f.y.i. that’s about $40,000,000.00 Canadian , with the juice, taxes and difference in the money.

I thought the $300,000 bidder had lost his mind, I think even the auctioneer was surprised when it took off from there. I didn’t realize there was a 1/100 1876, imagine what one with some condition could bring.

Mike, and others, understand that this 1 of 100 is the earliest/first listed in the factory records. When Ed Lewis wrote his book, this one was pictured, discussed, etc. At that time is was attributed to a “private collection”. At one time Ed had the finest collection of 1 of 100 and 1 of 1000 1873s AND 1876s. He quietly divested himself of his treasures years ago and I expect someone else may have placed many of these back together. I miss talking with Ed at Cody, as he was a good friend. He pretty well quit coming when his close buddy, Chuck Shelton, died. Two folks I do miss seeing! Tim
What TR said. A well oiled selling machine. No one can explain why they can get these numbers that others can’t?????
There is a socal family that has several dozen 1 of 100’s, 1 of 1000’s or like a 1 of 1000 that will go on the market someday I believe. Mr Anderson died a few years ago. If RIA gets these look out.
