Am I missing something with the Jim Thorpe M101-5 card in the auction? The same card sold for $44K in 2008, now sells for $13K? Either figure is way, way out of my budget. But living 45 minutes from Jim Thorpe, Pa., and 90 minutes from Carlisle, Pa., I always take an interest in Thorpe cards. That seems like a tremendous price drop, considering that many other premium items seemed to bring strong prices.

Here's another instance where the same card sold for less than last night's finish:

I saw the 2008 REA auction price you quoted, and I don't know how to explain that one. As someone who is actively seeking a nice example of this card - I was turned off by the centering. With that said, it's a great Thorpe card - no matter how you look at it.

If I were looking for one I too would wait for one that is centered a bit better. Still a really great card last night though. As for pricing, there have been several whales that left the hobby in the last 5-10 yrs. Some of those guys would buy a card regardless of price. That is probably what happened with the 44k price. I can show countless examples of other cards that went for a gazillion dollars only to come back down to normal type pricing (if there is such a thing).

Does anyone remember the Goodwin Auction about 4-5 years ago where some whales were going after cards from a D304 set? Examples like Cy Young in a PSA 5 were selling in the 45K range. Today, maybe 3-4K would be a reasonable price. You have to be careful assessing prices when those prices are multiples of any other previous record.

Thanks for the additional link. You're right; the Thorpe M101-5 card is a great card, as is the Exhibit card in your avatar.

I won the Joe Tinker Old Mill. I usually win the card/s on my bidding card that no one else wants.

Nice pickup.

I was watching this card as well. That pose has to have a story behind it.
