There is a very small market for a baseball board game that might sell for upwards of 50 grand. I suspect that some of the players in this market may be aware of the discovery of what may be a superior example of this game in an historic house in Missouri. There was a post on the Yahoo baseball games group about this:

The people that control the historic home are apparently unsure whether to sell the game, which--by the way--includes elements of the BOX!! At one point there were pictures of the game posted and it is in as remarkable condition as the REA example, especially when you consider the box. The pictures disappeared shortly after posting and there was (I believe) a reference to the discovery on this board. It is not too far a stretch to think that this find is being pursued by
one or more of the aforementioned players (and that would include an auction house or three.) It is also not too far a stretch to posit that a starving historic society might actually opt to sell something they didn't even know they had.

This may explain the "low" price...the market might be flooded!
