in different places. REA comes up with the goods and collectors are there willing to pay (over pay?) for them. Some of the items are just rarer or nicer than what you usually see for sale - some items are just zealously bid on by people in the heat of the moment. There was 1 lot I bid WAY over "retail" because of the richness of color in the card - and lost! This is in part the argument to sell at auction. Better luck next time.
