Bobby,

I dont know that you are correct. I recall at least one set (unfortunately dont remember which one) in which the individual cards went for more. But you are correct that most of the time the full set went for more. However, I attribute that at least in part to individual bidders giving up when they no longer feel that they can catch the price of the full set. As a result, I think you end up losing a lot of the late action on those lots. I believe that there have been previous posts on this topic concerning some fairly poor hammer prices on some full vs. individual auctions (I seem to recall a cracker jack set that sold for a very low price, but may be wrong).
