1930's Scrapbook w/Goudey & Delong

This 1930's Scrapbook ended yesterday for $1169. I thought that was a pretty steep price. Sure, there are 10 Delongs (w/several hofers) and 8 Goudeys included, but do you think the final bid would have been nearly this high if the contents were sold detached from the scrapbook? Maybe there's some mystique about having an intact scrapbook with period baseball cards included. Thoughts?

Also if you have pics of other scrapbooks with cards, please share!

Soak and Sell coming! I guess the buyer thinks he can make out.

Even if he can soak them off, which shouldn't be a real problem. The real problem is making the glue stains go away. The final is steep even if those cards were not glued in a scrap book.

I enjoy scrapbooks with cards in them, it is a neat part of our hobby history. I once had a scrapbook with T206's which I actually sold on the bst here. Unfortunatly there are no pics of it left on my computer.

I hope he sells them because I'd love the Delong Stephenson!
