The current REA auction contains one of racing's great rarities, the T227 Bruce Brown card. In a matter of hours, the card skyrocketed from $200 to $6,000 with the BP. So very cool to see a card of a very obscure racer already blow away what a Ty Cobb card from the same set in PSA 2 sells for. Really, there is no comparison between Ty Cobb and a Bruce Brown card.

PSA has only graded four examples of the Brown card,and speculation is that card was pulled shortly after release due to Brown's death. The Bruce Brown card is a major impediment for anyone trying to put together a T227 set, and several T227 collectors on here have stated in the past that they had not seen one for sale or at auction in decades.

I would love to have such a rare racing card, but it is already out of my budget for a single card. In the current price environment, wonder where this will end up?
