Lou is a fair man who set a fair price based on vcp. Let's not encourage price-gouging on here either!!! In reality, the REA SGC 20 went for less than it should have. Not to mention the fact that it had paper-loss, which this one did not have, and, as we all know, not all 1.5s are created equal. It happens often in large auctions with hundreds of lots where a card slips through the cracks. Interestingly, a Dietsche Cobb "batting" psa 4 sold in that same auction for 5k. And the fielding is FAR more rare. When the population on a card is under 20 or so, vcp isn't always indicative of what it CAN SELL for. They don't come up often (As rare, according to pop reports, as Cobb-backs), so when they do, the seller can ask whatever he wants within reason. Bottom line is that the seller made the profit he wanted, and the alert buyer (who beat me and quite a few others to the punch), got a fantastic deal.
