<p>[QUOTE=&quot;MorganFred, post: 34037, member: 1779&quot;]Well, they&#039;ve already been sold once on eBay (last month), but I guess the buyer backed out. I finally sat down and, using the PCGS price guide, listed the values for the MS-65s, -66s, and -67s; I have no guidelines for MS-68s and didn&#039;t want to take the time to research -68s further. But, the 11 Morgans in 65 thru 67 total $517,500. I won&#039;t hazard a guess at the three -68s since live auctions often surprise people, but the 81-CC is a top population with only two others, the 84-CC is top pop with only three others, and the 91-CC is at THE top and is unique.</p><p><br /></p><p>The provenance must also be considered when assessing valuation. While in earlier listings of this auction he had one or two Eliasbergs, the value isn&#039;t particularly diminished by substitution of the Jack Lee PCGS Tour Morgans.</p><p><br /></p><p>So, yes, I would think the collection would be worth a million bucks. If I had a million bucks that was just sitting around collecting dust, I&#039;d probably buy it.</p><p><br /></p><p>I strongly suspect he&#039;s using this auction as a promotional and advertising gimmick. It certainly caught my attention when it first came out several months ago. BTW, he&#039;s in my old Alma Mater (Cornell) town of Ithaca, NY, a hotbed of Morgan collectors and where I knew one who had several THOUSAND Morgans (this was mid-60s). It wouldn&#039;t surprise me that one or two in this auction are home-grown.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
