Unfortunately, Mr. Carroll has never obtained an official appraisal, but we want to purchase these for our collection. If he gets an official appraisal we hope to find a donor to help purchase this collection so it stays in Kansas City.

A seller at ebay has early 20th Century hand drawn maps from the Kansas City map publisher Gallup. He's been holding them since 1968 and is now selling them - one by one? Maybe someone should contact him and make him an offer for the whole set. I'm thinking Rumsey, LC. The seller includes his name and telephone number in the auction description. Too bad to separate this collection ... Angie -------- Original Message -------- Subject: RM: value?
