What is the philosophy behind generating a misleading price based on lack of evidence? I wrestled with this issue a lot in doing my boxing book until I decided to go the opposite and simply say the item is very rare and would likely sell for a lot if it came up for auction. The worst, IMO, aspect of this sort of pricing is that it misleads people who are not specialists in the field into pricing something rare at a common price. Was the issue ever kicked around at Becketts?
