Trevor HockingI think Fred hit it right on the nose. It is all up to who wants what at what time. The reason we haven't seen any 19th century cards break that mark yet Barry, yes for the mer fact that no rare highly collectable 19th century cards have hit the market. I'm sure if another PCL n172 would come out it would get close. Or maybe a new player for that same set. How about another example of a Gypsy Queen PCL I'm sure that would break it in todays market but the point is they are far more rarer 19th century cards than 20th century cards. Most of them will or have been sold privately. Most main stream 19th century collectors know who to sell there cards to and usually don't need to send them to the auction block.
