<p>[QUOTE="springfld.arsenal, post: 36603, member: 54"]In December a friend was helping out by doing appraisals at one of those free, walk-in appraisal sessions. A lady comes to him with a thick old album in nice condition. Each page had four frames, each with a signed CDV of a Civil war general. ALL of the Union CW generals were in the album, all CDV's were signed, no fading or oxidation visible on either the CDV's or the signatures on them, as the album had been wrapped up since she guessed shortly after the War.</p><p><br /></p><p>He is a very honest person and told her it was certainly very valuable, but needed appraisers who were used to items at the top of that market, so he recommended one and met her there. I didn't get an exact number but got the impression it was high 6 to low 7 figures. She had brought some other pristine items almost as good, but that was the highlight.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
