True, that the importance/significance of such a one-of-a-kind Trophy outweighs its condition in most cases. But with these glorious Spalding works of art, it's all about eye appeal, display-ability and originality. The best condition examples always sell for the most money.
I'm with Mike... hope the winning bidder knows exactly what he was pursuing. Luckily the price stayed low, so it appears that everyone else saw it.
