That seems like a tremendous price drop, considering that many other premium items seemed to bring strong prices.

Here's another instance where the same card sold for less than last night's finish:

I saw the 2008 REA auction price you quoted, and I don't know how to explain that one. As someone who is actively seeking a nice example of this card - I was turned off by the centering. With that said, it's a great Thorpe card - no matter how you look at it.
