Two bidders who had no idea what that Chase is realistically worth, with money being no object. Strange. I can't wait for everybody and their brother to try to cite this as some sort of vaulation point for every Chase being offered subsequently. If anybody stumbles upon this thread while doing research on the subject: don't think for a minute that this is an accurate valuation for such a piece. This was a lark, and the consignor should thank their lucky stars.
I felt that several went for more than they were worth, but Chase and Willis took the cake for "huh?" factor.
Eddie Collins ($1150 + 17.5%) & Eddie Cicotte ($800 + 17.5%)? If you don't need the silly slabs or an LOA to tell you something is authentic, they're $375 pieces all day long, and not easy sells at that. Not to mention that nicer examples can be found. Just two of several I could cite. I was in disbelief.
