Just won this piece on heritage auctions today.it is in mint condition and I believe the sigs are good enough to be graded.maybe mint 9 .it only comes with a heritage auction coa.im thinking of getting tracks to provide another coa.this is definitly the nicest set I own at this point.it cost me an arm and a leg.the more coas I can obtain the better.thats my thinking anyway.Any thoughts or advise would definitly appreciated.

What about Roger Epperson?

Lovely piece Paul!
Thanks Richard.i don't know whether to frame this one or put it in the safe.

frame it, then put it in the safe!

That's a good one terrier,lol

What a wonderful acquisition!  Absolutely beautiful, and a very reasonable price.  Congratulations!  I'd frame it with UV-protective glass and hang it in an area of no direct sunlight.  One thing to know is that the special glass protects only against UV.  Photodamage to paper and ink is not limited to the UV part of the spectrum, but includes even visible light, so turn the lights off when not needed.  The reality is that a great deal of photodamage comes from visible light.

Thanks CJS!i actually frame all the good stuff in museum glass.thanks for the tip with the lights though.i didn't know that.the reason I was so interested in the piece is because of the condition.it is almost pristine.and the sigs are nice and bold.
I agree that I got it at a reasonable price.i was actually a phone bidder.it was pretty cool,never done that before.it moved so fast though,I had no time to think.the minimum bid was 6000.00 and it jumped right to 9000.00 in the matter of about 10 seconds ...... then 10k ,then 11k. I was able to put in a cut bid to get it for 11.5 k. To bad heritage charges a 25% buyers premium,that brought it up to almost 14,500.00. I believe This piece Is definitly worth more.

Thanks for your note, Paul.

I've used Museum Glass for many items, and pieces display absolutely beautifully with it.  One thing to be aware of: since Museum Glass reduces reflection there is actually greater penetration by visible light, so that it actually increases exposure to and absorption of visible light by the framed object as compared to regular UV glass!!  So you still have to decrease visible light exposure (actually, even more so!).  That's what I've been advised, anyway.

That is very believable.it actually makes a lot of sense.no reflection = more light penetration.

Simply fantastic set Paul! Congrats my friend!!

Thanks a lot Jan!!

Awesome piece Paul !!! Congrats !!!
