    hello all, I picked this up for around $20. Any value to it? Probably keeping it in my collection, but just curious. I don’t see any on eBay to compare.
    (This is also in the books thread... couldn’t move it from there to here)

    Cool! When I think of William Seward, "Seward's Folly" (Purchase of Alaska from Russia) usually comes to mind.

    I too have a bunch of ephemera stuff like this and have found that I often have difficulty finding recent comparables on eBay. I've found the market to be thin on old paper goods and according to knowledgeable folks I've talked to say it takes a while to find the right collector to purchase items. U.S. history is littered with people that did notable things to shape the nation and who should be remembered but aren't by the general public.

    You might try google to find if there were any listings in the past on liveauctioneers, Hakes, or other online auction houses for copies of this piece of legislation.

    Most of what I collect now happens to be paper / ephemera collectibles. Market does seem to be hit or miss depending on what the subject is. I’ll check those sites... thanks!

    I'd think the collector market would be those interested in Kansas history.
