Settled at $1,323,000

It was at $800k last night before extended bidding.

I honestly thought it might go a bit higher. I wonder if all the caveats about how it was removed from the scrapbook impacted the bidding?

Seems like a distinct possibility.

Another possibility:

I'm not much of a T206 collector, so don't hate me for saying this, but $1.3M+ is already a hell of a lot of money...

still amazed at the price considering it is not a Wagner and yes it is rare but it one of the most expensive "error" cards

As someone who recently sold a psa 3.5, I think last night’s price was pretty spot on.

It’s a hell of a card and the key to having a complete 524 set of the greatest card set of all time. I climbed that mountain and my set is retired and preserved on the registry, which is why I ultimately chose to exit the investment.

Congrats to the winner. Not many can’t say they held, let alone owned, a t206 Doyle NY Natl

I guessed at $1.2 million but wasn't surprised it went a little more than that.

It will be interesting if the dozen or so examples of this card start showing up more often at auction houses. I believe there have been 2 at auction in the last 3 years but please fact check that. Point is there aren't many times you can pick one of these up!

the interesting thing to me when it comes to these ultra rare, insanely expensive cards is the mindset of the person who doesn't own one, wants to own one, and has the money to afford one.

they are exceedingly rare, and they dont come up for auction frequently. so, when one does surface, it must take real restraint to not just do whatever is needed to get one. if you can afford $1.3m for a baseball card, you can probably afford $1.5m or $2m or $3m, right? like, if you were the underbidder on this card last night, is your thought "eh, another will pop up soon and I can try again?"
