I can help a little with the history. Good, bad or indifferent the ebayer put it out there for about 40k at first. Then he put it on ebay with a reserve. We talked a lot about it on the board as the owner had come onto the board to tell how he got it by accident, for practically nothing, in a stack of T206's about 30 yrs ago. (this is all from memory so if I am off a bit please don't kill me). I put a snipe in of about 10.5k and got it for about $9.7k. I had asked a few collectors before then what they thought the least it would get in auction if I had to sell it. They said they would pay at least 5k for it so I was comfortable getting it for 2x of that. IN today's market I will guess 5k-9k....but I could be wrong. Others might have more of an idea. I always welcome other thoughts. You won't hurt my feelings and you won't see it for sale on the BST tomorrow . best regards
