I just looked at the HA listing for this lot. What I found interesting was the estimate of $7 million. I wonder why HA, who in my mind usually estimates high, would have an estimate under the REA realization.

I have found their estimates for the type of stuff I bid on to have pretty low estimates.

Perhaps lower estimates will entice more bidders to participate, giving them a false hope of having a chance of winning.

At the 7M+ level, does that strategy really work? No one with that money has false hopes, I don't think. It's all about who has the deepest pockets and wants it the most.

Agreed. Cards like that will be the new toys for the fraction of the 1% with more disposable income than I would see in 10 lifetimes.

At higher prices it's not about attracting buyers, it's about attracting consignors.
Being able to say they typically get X% over estimate is a selling point.

Not that that fools anyone who actually looks at those estimates compared to sales.
