LOTG sold a 1925 Gehrig 3(MK) Exhibits in March 2021 for $160,000

Just like the stock market . . . not every stock moves in tandem.
ZERO comparison between those 2 cards. For accuracy, the “all in” pricing was $87K vs. $192K. The difference? The $87K example had obtrusive writing on the verso - a blatant MK version. The $192K example’s MK was virtually invisible on the verso - could not even see it unless you used ultra-heavy magnification. The bidders for the LOTG 3-MK treated it as a virtually clean PSA 3.
