Ken I agree totally. I may have every big man team made by Tudor. But it's hard to get every piece that came from the same bag. Because of injuries, KEN Allot of people do not know that the Jets in W you have to piece together from the old Jets Vs Colts Super bowl set. I think that what would have really sold this auction is if the seller would have showed pics of some more of his prize positions team like the Jets W, Denver D, New England D, and Houston D.

When I dealt big man teams I immediately let the buyers know if there was a hog leg.
I personally consider a authentic big man collection as each individual team coming from the same bag.
There are some that claim that they have a collection but very few have a true collection. The Browns for instance have that coffee color but I sold some Browns, I believe to Mark Kistner, that would clearly show the difference between authentic, as opposed to pieced together.
I am not knocking the collections as there are clearly 4 teams that came from the same lot. Just because they used toothpicks to paint them does not mean that you can't see the difference.
It's like getting one painted by Guttman, One Stacey, One Chucl Lawrence, etc. etc.
Just my thoughts. Take a closer look now and tell me what you see.
