The Atz seems to be miscut -- the top is slanted while the bottom and sides are straight. So it's not your typical "diamond-cut". My guess is that one of the many "oddity" collectors went for it.
I walked away with just this one, but am pretty happy as it didn't reach my max bid:
I did try for a whole slew of others, alas. I agree with the earlier posts that the SGC 50s and 60s seemed to go for higher than usual-market value. The SGC 80s, though, had relatively lower starting bids and were more accessible, and in the end sold for strong but reasonable prices.
Oh, and to whomever won the Lundgren KC card -- enjoy it, it's a beauty. If you ever think of selling it down the road, please let me know. It'd go great to pair with the Chicago version that I own; I simply don't have the funds right now to have chased it this time.
Cheers,
