It looks even better in person. It's the only trade card that shows the Titanic "before" it sunk and is a regular issue set of one.
Some would argue that they are not rare but I only found a dozen last year on ebay and only two so far this year. Beaters (grade level 1 or 2), which are almost all of them, sell from around $40 - $150 raw. So far it hasn't really hit our hobby yet...but it's very poular with Titanic collectors who often consider rounded corners with no paper loss or creases as high grade.
The SGC 5.5 above, is "by far" the best I have seen and has an insured appraisal value of $8,000. It will soon be on the way to the Branson, MO Titanic museum.
