I am posting this as a service to any members who may have missed the listing (I was one, and find it interesting that the auction house did not post on this site). Any perspective bidders should note that the buyers premium, if I am reading things correctly, is 28% on the first $50,000 and 27% on the remainder up to $1 million. If this card were to be auctioned at Heritage or Memory Lane I think it would go for over $1 million. I wonder what it will go for here.

This is the first time I have ever heard of Bonham's auction so it does make me wonder why the seller chose them and not another one like Heritage, ML or REA? I guess there's no better way of advertising your House than getting word out about this card, but maybe they are already popular and I'm just behind the times?
