I think this happens more than we know but due to the private nature we just don’t know about it. I also will say they have to be significant or tougher cards were not talking run of the mill pre-war etc.

First to answer a question above. My initial post was just auctions vs private sales in general. Any ole auction, I wasn't being picky or specific.
As to your comment John. I have lived that scenario many times, buying and selling. But those cards in those private sales probably (mine weren't) weren't listed publicly and not selling before going to auction.
