MVSNYCi have been discussing this very topic with a few fellow T206 back experts...between these 2 in Barry's auction, and a few in REA...we honestly are baffled. it is a rare back, don't get me wrong, but nowhere near as tuff as Drum, and they have all of a sudden commanded such prices.
i personally think there has been a lot of "overbidding" going on (i.e. people getting excited and all wrapped-up in the auction buzz, and tend to bid more on items then they're worth). i have no other explanation for it.
