once upon a time many years ago, yeah sounds like a fairy tale. i bought this card in a group of 180 cards from the infamous broadway rick for $1800, several other tough backs were in the lot, unbeknown to them i kept it for a couple of years, but due to it's condition and constant pleading from another collector i relented and sold it.

since then it has changed hands a couple of times and it was offered to me again for about $5K. having owned it once before i passed.

bottom line is it think the card did extremely well given the condition. would it have done better elsewhere, perhaps, perhaps not.

steve has a reputable auction and as wide a customer base as the others, ofm which about 95% of all bidders probably overlap from all auction house list. so it probably would not have made much difference.
