Why was this card bid up so high? Looking at the bidders involved in the auction, I can't believe that they did not know that this is not Al Simmons' rookie card.

Is the 1926 Spalding Simmons a rare card, or were people duped into thinking that it was really his rookie (and not his 1923 Exhibit)?

I also read the thread about ad backs. Brian mentions that the ad and bio backs are about equal. Perhaps this Simmons took off because of the ad back?
