Hinged singles have previously sold at auctions at $2500 level & retail nowdays is around $3000 ea, & MUH abc strips would be $10,000+ each, while the value of the unique acccbc bottom strip is difficult to calculate. Offerred at a very conservative reserve - counting the M singles at only $1000 ea, the MUH abc strips at only $4000-$5000 each, & the bottom strip of 6 at only $8000.
