$898 is a little low especially since the auction was outed to thousands of potential bidders. I actually think (whether it was intentional or not) the guy who outed the auction benefitted from his post by slipping in the thread that he had a $3000 ceiling bid (which would be way too high) so several people, myself included, just went ahead and said "screw it, some crazy guy outed the auction and announced his crazy ceiling bid so why even bother" and then it went low. Just my opinion. The White Bordered ones are more popular and sell in the $1200-$2000 range but with Needham being a popular player this was legitimately a $1000-$1500 cabinet so $898 is on the low side for this item.
Edited to add that the McGann you are refering too is not a Horner Portrait photo which are FAR more popular than the batting poses like the one in BL & Goodwin. In the past White Border Horners have topped $3500 for single common players that were portraits.
