<p>[QUOTE="johnmilton, post: 17579951, member: 101855"]The Grey Sheet says that the 1909 to 1933 set is worth $1,449.40 in Fine and $1,795.95 in VF. How they get that precise in value is beyond me. Add to those prices 15 to 20 percent for the retail mark up and you have an idea as to what the set to date will cost you.
