The centering of the Whitney/Dog card along with the nice image (if you disregard the imperfections on Whitney's left hand) makes it a nice example of this card. However, I was surprised to see the card sell for over $17K with the BP. Apparently someone really wanted it. I wonder what that does to the price of other examples of that card in better/worse conditions.
There was another OJ in that auction with a final price that "kind" of surprised me. After the card was outed in another thread, I figured the price would escalate a little bit. The card being referenced is the Deasley OJ with the Washington team designation that isn't shown in the OJ Bible. The card has OUTSTANDING image quality (graded SGC5) and sold for over $2600 with BP. Some people might debate the price was due to the image quality, but I'm guessing it had more to do with the team designation.
