Two thoughts come to mind:
1.) Notice first, Parker Bros. got the same price for them. So yes (then and now [for me]), they have equal value in the market place (in general).
2.) I would still want to get to examine them to pick out which one I get to buy and keep. I have seen three (3) from 1926 that are all Grade 3 and appear on the same page in Price & Fjestad. The journeyman engravers’ work (not the dogs and birds) are in the same patterns, but different enough to notice and I have preferences there. I might even pay a little more to get the one I liked the best. So, not “absolutely equal value” to me.
