As I mentioned previously in the Goodwin preview thread, there were two minor league team postcards c1910 both graded 1.5 by SGC with a HOF'er pictured on each (actually one had two but they were both post-ML career). Starting bid on each was $500 and they both reached $600 in the bidding.
Only a few months ago, I consigned a c1910 minor league team postcard w/Joe McCarthy graded an SGC 1.5 and the auction house would only put a minimum bid of $100. The postcard sold for $100 + $18 juice.
To me, either I chose a really poor auction house (although many on this board are big fans of them) or the starting bid certainly made a big difference on very similar type items.
