Default Highest Priced Set???

Posted By: Josh K.

Im having difficulty figuring out if this question is asking about actual sales or hypothetical sales.

The single highest amount paid for a complete set (that Im aware of) is the 800k paid for the cracker jacks that were all in nearly perfect condition (displayed on sgc's website, I believe).

The Harris collection t206s cannot be counted as they were sold individually and not as a "set". As we all know, sets typically will sell for less than if each card was sold individually. With respect to the Harris coll. cards, IMO, if they were sold as a set many bidders who were interested in single cards and maybe had 5 to 10k to spend on a single high grade card would never have bid if it was a complete set that they knew would take several hundred thousand dollars to win.
