<p>[QUOTE=&quot;TypeCoin971793, post: 2890752, member: 78244&quot;]I saw one on eBay (the Oct 3 issue), but it got lost in the mail. That started the ball rolling. At that time, I got hooked into trying to find that issue. After doing some more research, I found that there were two other issues (Oct 10 and 17), so it became my mission to get the whole trilogy. None of my sources had it in stock (and would cost $200 if they did), so I had to resort to eBay. To make my life easy, I set up a search on eBay that notifies me whenever a &quot;Frank Leslie 1857&quot; gets listed. Every few weeks, one would get listed, but it was one of the other 49 weekly issues. About twice a year, a relevant issue would be listed, but they would be in a bound volume for more than I could afford ($250-400). So I waited for singles. Two (Oct 3 and 17) popped up as BINs two years apart, and a couple months ago I noticed the Oct 10 issue in a large lot of a half dozen issues, so I bid to win. Turns out I now have a duplicate of the Oct 17 issue as that was in the lot as well.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
