I didn't know they even sold them like that! Or did they?

Sure did. All the Farley's were available as press sheets. That's where we get all those gutter pairs and blocks. A dealer offers them from time to time in Linn's.

What's the value on something like that?

If you consider it to be 20 panes of 6 at $12.50 (2016 Scott's Specialized) that makes $250. So if someone were to try to sell that sheet at, say 40% CV, that makes it $100. Actually sounds pretty cheap, but if you were trying to calculate shipping to try to ship it flat I'm not sure what that price would be. Also there is a rarity factor, I bet not too many full sheets like this exist! Also some people will pay for those strange cross blocks of four where the panes of 6 intersect. keeping all that in mind I bet you could sell this on E-Bay for a few hundred bucks on novelty value alone. If it were mine I'd do what Tony suggested, frame it and hang it on the wall!!

Looking at the prices in the first article makes my estimate seem a bit low. I've picked up, so far, all of the "cross blocks" (can't remember the proper name for them) of 4 and haven't paid much for any of them. That plus the regular panes of six and singles plus some perforated and unperforated line pairs are really all I wanted. Thankfully I'm not interested in finding the full sheets!! I also have picked up a few line and arrow blocks but again, the prices seem fairly low. My Harris US album contained a fair bit of the Farley material which is why I picked it up. You know how much I like filling pages!
If you put the sheet on E-Bay as an auction item GOK what it would sell for, possibly anything between $100 and $1000. I think the size would turn a lot of people off - very difficult to put in an album!!! It's a fantastic looking item though and it was great to see it!!
