What region encompasses NY, Detroit, Chicago, Baltimore, DC, Montreal, Philadelphia, etc.?
$14400 > $9300
Yes... REA does get a premium... so let's compare sales from this particular REA auction.
Bond Bread PSA 4 sold for $5100.
Leaf PSA 5 sold for $4800.
$5100 > $4800
Nobody is taking anything away from the Leaf issue. It is easily one of Jackie's most iconic issues. I am glad to have one in my collection.
That being said, the BB issue has experienced a meteoric rise this year, similar to what the market recently saw with other iconic cards. This makes it hard to go by the previous sales of $6100 and $5900 (which were also big jumps). It has been on a continuously upward trajectory, whether you want to admit that or not.
