Yeah but..they are astoundingly rare. 1961 Bells are white whale cards for basketball collectors and are especially coveted by Lakers collectors, West Coast regional collectors, and West/Baylor collectors. While any card is rare as hell, the ones offered just happened to feature West and Baylor RCs issued in the Lakers' town. There was a lot of collective wailing and lamenting seeing them go like that.
Someone is laughing all the way to the bank today because the ones that were offered sold for 10% of FMV.
