I doubt the selling price of this card is relative to what the brown Lenox Lajoie will sell for. The buyer of the Cycle doesn't think it's worth $1,825. The unrealistic price likely is the result of two bidders placing extremely high bids in hopes of ensuring they would top all others. One of them did, and paid a premium to do it, because someone else used the same strategy. It happens.
Such a scenario can't play out in an auction that doesn't have a fixed ending time, like eBay does.
