I thought the price on Lajoie was fair, but I wouldn't say that it went lower than expected. I would say that if the Lajoie had received a bid at the 3500 level, with the 19.5% buyers premium, it would have gone for about $4200 which is what this identical card went for in REA back in 2009. I had anticipated it going for a little less than that this time around just because of all the e107s available. I thought it would finish exactly at the 3k bidding incriment, but it ended up at $3250.
But yes, in this market, Type 2 HOFers that aren't named Delehanty hover around 4k for pretty nice ones. Counting BP and shipping, this one went for a bit over $3900 which is just about right.
Type 2 HOFers that aren't as nice as this Lajoie typically fall in the $2-2.5k range. For instance, I picked up a Keeler with creases across the face for $2400 a couple years back.
