As posted elsewhere, 21 of the 29 individual cards in the 41 Cardinals Team Issue had very high opening bids, and did not open, meaning it was inevitable that the set was going to outsell the individual cards and there was no way to win the Rickey, Mize, etc. without buying the set.
And with realistic openings on the individual cards, that would have generated more bidding on the more desirable cards because there would have been a real reason to bid in overtime, and also would have generated pressure on the set price. The consignor definitely lost out here IMO.
