Bobby- that's a fair question and there is no precise way to answer it. In general, if a Philadelphia Kalamazoo Bats player sells in say the $2K-4K range, give or take, and then one suddenly sells for 64K, it's probably a good idea to do exactly what you are doing now- see if you can find out more about the card and why it sold for so much. It's clearly a rare card of a Philadelphia player, but it had some sniping at the end that raised its final bid considerably. Obviously, there aren't too many situations like this that will come up so it shouldn't be a problem. It's almost certain someone on the board would know the story behind these kinds of transactions.
