It is highly subjective, yet I much prefer the REA card to the other two linked above. The absence of tilt is big to my eye. Do I prefer the REA card 100k more... all I can say to that as a centering guy is I would not bid on any of those three, yet would pay that premium and then some for what I wanted.
Bidding wars can really drive up a card. I remember talking with a good friend here at Net54 about a particular card he wanted to win at auction; another guy kept topping him last second to reset the timer and it became a heated thing where he was determined to take the card home. As I am sure the other guy was, too. Happened to me as well most expensively on my own 311. Was going at it with a collector I knew and a third who was a buddy on this site, and when the smoke cleared it went for more than double the then going rate-- albeit the "average" rate. As they say, average prices are for average cards.
