T206Collector...turned out to be a fixed price sale, with only one person willing to pay over $20,890, as opposed to an ebay final sale. Even in the ebay context, you never know what the highest price the winner would be willing to pay would be, you only know what the second highest price would be.
For me, I'm trying to figure out how much the market has moved for this particular card, which sold at auction for about $15K with juice last April. Theoretically, if the winner resold his Plank on ebay today, it should not go higher than $20,890. But I understand fully the concept that a card is worth whatever someone is willing to pay for it.
Perhaps all we have learned is that there are several more people that are interested in spending more than $15K on an Eddie Plank card than there were last year at this time. For that reason, I deduce that the market for Planks has gone up.
