Your problem Peter is that you are looking in Beckett for "BOOK" price, First thing you gotta do is realize that Beckett is too busy printing Pokemon price guides to really know how to price pre-war issues. Second, the price is a little high for that condition, but not so high that if there was someone looking for that particular card they wouldn't drop down $55 for it. "Book Prices" on pre-WWII baseball cards are fictional, and basically meaningless. If the card is worth $55 to you then that is what it is worth. Beckett also lists G & B Chewing Gums at $2000 in EXMT, one hasn't sold for that cheap in over 10 years, also according to Beckett you should have no problem picking up a YumYum in EXMT for $1200(including Larry Corcoran), and only $3000 for a Connie Mack or Cap Anson... one can only dream.
BOTTOM LINE: Throw your "BOOK PRICE" out the window
