 As a collector who focuses on rare stuff, it's not the most financially rewarding, but it's a lot of fun.

 Agree 100%.  There aren’t that many people out there who want to spend big bucks on a high grade t216 (issued from 1911-16), when you can easily get the same pose with a different back and a lower grade.  The T216 posted has two rarities: (1) the back, and (2) the high grade.  Two+ people bid on it at the end, it could go through the roof. Only one real bidder and it flops; not that $16k is a flop per se (it’s a ton of money for a card).
All that said, the comp posted is from November 2020. I suspect this card sells for well above (maybe $30k++) in today’s world
