A very rare set of one of the finest quality surviving sets of the Kansas-Nebraska sheets. With the demand for choice Kansas-Nebraska singles, sets and Plate Blocks, opportunities to acquire a complete set of sheets in the future will be rather difficult (last recorded auction realization was in a Siegel Rarity Sale in 2006, with $47,500 hammer)  ***Catalog #656-79 Catalog Value $ 101,337 | Price Realized $29,000.00 |
