S GrossI was goning to start another thread on a T207 auction, but it fits into this "Recruit" back discussion.
According to Tim Newcomb's VCBC article the breakdown of surveyed "Recruit" cards were:
Recruit -- 96.67%
Napoleon -- 2.28%
Anon Fact. 3 -- 1.05%
So those numbers back up what Tbob just memtioned about Anon 3 thougher than Napoleons (survey shows 2:1). A Collins Anon. 3 just sold on ebay for ~$50. If it had a Napoleon back, I would venture 3x to 5x (or even more) .... correct ????
But what puzzles me is the following auction:
http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&ih=012&sspagename=STRK%3AMEWA%3AIT&viewitem=&item=220120001542&rd=1&rd=1
Sure, Hageman has a possible Anon. 3 and Napoleon back, but this is a straight up Recruit. And this wasn't just two guys fighting it out. Am I missing something, or did this card (40vg3) go for ~5x normal price (if there is such thing as normal price) ??????????????
