My hunch is that there are two longtime collectors who are battling for the top spot on the registry. They are always looking to improve their cards. Then we throw in another longtime collector who is back in the exhibit market who has deep pockets (Oil money I hear). Then you have us postcard guys who are always looking to snag some nice Exhibits along with the HOF and RC collectors.

LOTG is a respected AH that people promote and look for a reason to bid

Then the consignor of the Exhibits (member here) had a great collection which took well over a decade or two to form. So, this is literally a once in a decade auction for many hard to find Exhibits which won't be seeing the light of day for a long time I imagine.

It was a perfect storm!
