Assuming this goes for ONLY $15,000...as a T206 collector, if I had that much to spend on one card, this would not be the one. In fact, it wouldn't make my top 100 - and that's only for T206's.
I'll believe that someone is willing to spend that much when I see the bid placed. Until a second one shows up, it is a huge risk. This seems like a case where having more known copies is better, to a certain point obviously.

I don't think the starting price is too high though. If it was mine, I'd certainly want to sell it for as much as possible. I would hate to take a much lower number only to have a couple other copies surface, thus legitimizing the card and driving the price up.
