I checked everything from June 1957 - June 1958, even the un-illustrated lots, but no luck. Guess they just gave him a call (they did have telephones then, right!?) I have a nice, beautifully handwritten Boyd Collection ticket from around the turn of the 20th Century. I have Benz's tickets on my coins from his collection, but frankly they're nothing special; neither pretty nor informative. Some are just scrawled on scraps of paper that look like they were cut from used envelopes. They do fit in my trays though, unlike most, so they get to live with my coins. The best tickets I've ever seen are from Dick Schaefer's Goodman Collection coins. They add all sorts of insightful observations on the early denarii, stuff not published anywhere since his coins were sold before the days when prominent collectors collaborate in the production of the catalogue, adding observations and anecdotes. I've never seen a Haeberlin ticket. I don't think they were saved, but then again, I'd never seen a Voirol ticket until now so who knows really. I don't have a picture of the Boyd ticket, but what the heck, here's the coin: [ATTACH=full]642040[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]
