Here is a breakdown of price vs. the $13,000 Red Hindu Brown auction card.

$13000 x 30% ... $3900
$13000 x 25% ... $3250
$13000 x 20%.... $2600
$13000 x 15% ... $1950

The qualities that make up price for all collectables:

1. Authenticity
2. Condition
3. Rarity

Rarity is where Red Hindus shine.

I don't think it would be unreasonable for the card to sell for between 15 to 35% of the current top price Red Hindu/Brown/$13k. Will it sell in that arena?.. Who knows?.. Depends on how badly someone wants a card rarer than the Magie mistake card.

More Magie mistake cards are offered for sale at auctions and online than Brown or Joss Red Hindus. As that information becomes absorbed and applied the prices for rare Red Hindus will continue up.

The last Joss Pitching Red Hindu that I have been able to confirm being offered at auction was 1996... 16 years ago. If someone has other information on Brown or Joss Red Hindu sales that can be confirmed.. public or private.. please send me a PM.
You forgot to add demand to your list that is always a very important factor and item can be rare and still not valuable.
