Yes, high, but understandable ...............

Cross' only non-Pied./SC back is the Tolstoi.

My "mid-tier" set sits at 519/520, missing only this combo.

There are probably others in or near this situation.

A very "unique" card.

I think I'll wait for mine .........................

Fun, fun, Scott

I was bidding on the obak Ten Million thinking I could get a fair price, to my
surprise it went way over what I was willing to pay considering condition.

Seeing things I used to own and sold for fractions of the ridiculous, way-over logical prices that they fetched last night. At least the prices made no sense to me and my 40 years of doing this.

I assume you're talking about autographs. I only know the T206 player autograph market, but I actually thought there were some deals to be had -- e.g., Mathewsons for $15k or less. I was VERY happy to have snagged the Miller Huggins for under $3,000. I haven't seen a Huggins for under $4,000 in the last 5 years of looking.

I guess I might consider Joe Kelley for $40k to be frustrating, so maybe you're referring to that one. But even an Eddie Plank signed check for $20,000 isn't totally crazy based on my expectations for signed Plank sales.

Shutout as usual.

There are few bargains in the major auctions except when I consign something to any of them!
