My gut is the card is so niche that two people chased the original 2018 sale and one of them was gone in the 2020 sale, resulting in the card flopping. I don’t blame Heritage.

My gut is DiMaggio is similar and if this is the first sale in a while, it should do well (after it’s graded). I think Heritage will do fine, as will REA and many others - the right bidders will find that card. I think LOTG would do really well with a niche item like this.
Thanks for the info! Yeah, this would be niche, as PSA has 0 in the population, and the price guide lists the set as R5 (less than 5 copies are known to exist). Have found some pictures online of the card, but no actual sales.

Do I get it graded? Does the auction house?
