I wonder why it went so low.

I think alot of folks were saving up for REA and Jasons collection and most autograph collectors favor cards over exhibits. Otherwise I am not sure since it probably is the best multi signed card in the hobby

Amazing card, regardless if it's an exhibit!

in 2016 REA sold it for 72,000 including premium. I had a few good "authenticators" look at it. With buyers premium got it for 38.400. Alot of things are going for low prices tho Jason did very well. I picked up a few items in REA that didn't go that high and I was pleasantly surprised. Just depends if you get into a bidding war with a deep pockets guy and/or a set collector

I recently picked up a pretty cool signed item for my collection related to no-hitters.

This is an August issue of Indian News that was signed by Don Black (D-1959), HOF Bob Lemon and HOF Bob Feller. All three of these Cleveland Indians pitchers that were on the 1948 roster hurled at least one no-hitter.
Feller threw no-hitters in both 1940 and 1946, Black threw his in 1947 and Lemon had just hurled his in June of 1948 at the time that this publication was printed.

What makes this signed piece particularly rare is the death date of Don Black tragically passed away in 1959 at the young age of 43.
His signature is pretty challenging to begin with, but to find a no-hitter related piece signed by all three is pretty unique.
