Welcome aboard. I believe Barry Sloate is still a member here?

Unfortunately, whether or not it was/was not likely won't matter all that much for purposes of assessing the value on this card for two reasons. First, it was sold back in 2008 when the hobby was in a much different shape. Second, for very rare cards like the one you have, you cannot always get an accurate assessment of the value by looking at just one auction. A lot of the value for rare cards like that depends on the actual demand for the card. There may only be two people out there that want that card for their collections. They both may have bid on it in the Sloate auction driving the price up. That leaves only one collector left that is in the market for one, and you may not see a strong price through an auction. You just never know.
