Tough card to find centered, (not saying it is centered, but I've seen a lot worse) tough/expensive card normally, it is slabbed and overall, despite the pin hole, it is not a bad card for someone on a budget.

Just my opinion, of course, but if I was still participating in U.S. auctions and our dollar was more equal/on par, I might have likely bid on that card as well?

It still seems a bit off to me though, especially since that bidding at the very end didn't look like the typical budget-oriented collectors going after it.

Then I wondered if it was somehow a restoration project, but even though the corners/edges look great, the upper-left keeps it from being pristine.

I dunno. Maybe prices are inching up too.

This is what I got for mine in mid-March. It seemed like a more standard pretty good deal for set building....$102 for a typical 4
