Default "Cy" young old put

Having a passing interest in the obscure and obscene, back prints, variations and stamps are an interest of mine. To that end, did anyone catch the old put Young in last night's Goldin auction?

Looks like it also sold in a Goodwin auction 4 years ago:

These don't come up very often, so I'm curious to hear opinions about why this card seems to have sold for such a steep loss. Is it a victim of its own scarcity? Is it because the card depicts Irv Young as opposed to ole cy? Are back stamps no longer en vogue? Am I the only one who is interested?
