With reference to the link below, an entire set sold at the Torex auction in June 2005 for about $10,000 CAD including taxes and hammer fees.  However I've seen the $1,000 note alone being listed on eBay for $15,000 USD.  The other notes were listed on eBay for about $2,000 USD per piece, but the auction was ended early by the seller so I can't say if they sold - really doubt so.

At the TNS auction in May, a 1954 Specimen set went for about $13,000 CAD.  The 1937's are more common so $9,000-$10,000 sounds about right to me.

I forget which show it was, but in the Toronto Area back in the spring a guy had the set and wanted 9,999

$10,000 CAD it's about right !
