Considering I have a number of t206s coming up in their summer auction, I am trying to decide if it was condition difference that justifies the extra 10%, or does REA bring better prices on T206 than memory lane. I think it’s a little of both.

Hi Ryan - I know absolutely zero about the details here, but a 10% swing seems like a pretty close range to me. I would be less inclined to expect that there's something material that explains the difference, and more inclined to expect that the vagaries of the auction process, and who was in (or out) of the bidding on those days, what else they were bidding on, and whether they were feeling aggressive or conservative.
Particularly in an auction format like this, the difference has got to be like 2-3 bidding increments, which seems like it's so close that it's probably not worth getting excited about, or even attempting to explain.
Then again, it's a lot easier to be sanguine in these situations when your card is the one that sells for 10% higher, rather than for 10% lower.
