Seems high to me as a starter. Maybe its my imagination to generalize, as now on bay, I see some that are fair priced/bids/
Strip cards of the Black Sox players - particularly in W514's (card shown is a W515) have always commanded a premium. I believe W514's have 7 of the 8 Black Sox players - missing only the McMullin card. The set has some importance also in that it was issued in 1920 and fairly close to the date of the scandal.

I have a hard time justifying paying so much for strips of the Black Sox players....so my W514 set only has a couple of black sox cards.
