Bit of a price drop, I'd say
I was going to have a different title and content when I first started, because I thought these were the same card with "improvements". Seems they are close but different. Anyway, the first of these sold 8 months ago in Goodwin for $2499, and the second, slightly nicer one sold last night for $321, also in Goodwin.
 
 
Same seller so presumably same customer base, less than 8 months apart, same condition and grade, scarce series so no worries about huge supply out there (these may be the only two). Hmmm. Also a little odd that the first one had a minimum bid of $500 yet last night's started at $150, when the history would suggest it would go for much, much more.
I"m not trying to go all Spaeth here,  I just find these results interesting. Maybe there were only two guys battling for the first one and now the patient one reaps his reward--who knows?
