It is true that the prices realized in auction houses such as Goodwin and Memory Lane bring in much higher amounts in the 300%+ range even for cards that commonly sell on eBay. I am not so sure that something funny is happening in this case. I think there are some people that collect that do not use eBay and when a card they need for their registry is available they have bidding wars. They do not want to deal with the hassles of eBay and sellers they do not know. They are comfortable over paying and dealing with the same auction houses to build their sets or collections.
