fkwWasnt there a Ruth in that Schapira find??? I remember that auction, and a couple other Schapira card groups. Thats the way I have found all my Schapira Big Show cards, people didnt bid cause they didnt know exactly what they were or thought they were trimmed V100's. Picked up a couple for under $20 back when eBay was a great place to find a bargan. 
I think people bid on this trimmed V100 because they didnt know it was trimmed. There are a lot of newbee vintage collectors bidding blind without researching what they are bidding on.
