I'm 99 percent sure the consignor will recieve a rebate back on the buyers premium. For a high dollar card like this, 12-15 percent would be my guess. Plus, a reserve around 850-1m wouodn't be to shocking to see. Do, you really think the card was bought for 1.2m? I say no.

If the card sells, the chance the new owner even knows about this board or any board is slim because its a social statis card and appeals to other people with deep pockets who we wouodn't classify as a collector.
