Really good intel.. thanks for sharing!

I've learned to never put an estimate on cards that come up once every decade.

The Old Judge Deacon White Card.

I don't think the "hyping" of the Brown card will have anything to do with
the final price. Most collectors have experienced or know it only takes two
people that really want an item or in Heritage and other AH's that allow
the consigners to bid on their items one person.

Exactly this. The implication that posts on Net54 and other message boards drove the price of a card that "was on no one's radar" to $23,000-plus in a few days is ridiculous and smells of sour grapes. Add the fact that the card is in REA, whose auctions are among the most anticipated in the hobby, and it's extremely believable that a card that's the white whale for a number of collectors could take off like a rocket. Especially when few can remember the last time one came up for public sale.
