It may be worth it but not to me???

I with you on this one.
But once authenticated, what price would some of the collectors with deep pockets pay????? There are some truly almost one of a kind pieces there.
Does anyone recall what this Dan Beard Collection was selling for?
For that price I would want it authenticated by a reputatable authority.
It may be worth it but not to me???
