Spring 2018 REA Lot#1651 sold for $39,000
Summer 2023 REA Lot#1402 sold for $29,400
Fall 2023 REA Lot#2149 hi bid $13,000 - not sold reserve not met
Looks like the exact same sheet, with the exact same description for both auctions.
What a difference 3 months make and what a difference 5 years make!!!

Yeah...
Appreciate the added data point, because it helps to suggest that maybe the 2023 sale wasn't a fake sale. Unless we're going to argue that the 2018 sale was also fake. I suppose as long as there can be 1 fake sale, then there can be multiple fake sales. Hell, they might all be fake sales. Aside from my own purchases, I suppose it's hard to really know for sure about anything else.
At the same time, even assuming all of these are good sales, I wouldn't read too much into these data points. This is just too much of a specialty item. A bidder or two can make a big difference, depending on whether they're paying attention, and whether they're in or out of the market at the moment for this piece.
