I was the consignor. I had a considerably larger snipe on ebay and feel the card is worth what was paid in LOTG. How many are out there? No one knows but only 2 (including this example) that I've seen. So you have the earliest card/postcard of Baker with 1 other example known. Doesn't seem crazy to me to pay $1100 for something like that. I think the buyer got a good deal.
I also don't think ebay is the do all end all for judging prices. In most cases, postcards that sell on ebay are BELOW market value. This card is one that transcends just postcard collectors and branches into rookie HOF collectors and HOF collectors in general.
Let me just say that there is a reason I went with Al. He knows his stuff, presents it well. It translates to good prices on those items that might need a little extra care and explanation.
