$2,325.00 for a PSA 1 O'Hara -- 33 bids

The Demmitt was in "better" condition than the O'Hara, so (a) what gives with the price/interest differential, and (b) is this another upward price shift for scarce T206 cards?

The same bidder won both, so perhaps was just determined to win both at any cost.

Thoughts?

I went after the demmitt, but my max bid was about 200 below the final price.

i was surprised about the final price for the o'hara given the condition of the card. It looks like Bidder 13 ran up the price pretty quickly...and Bidder 6, the eventual winner, wanted the card badly.

This may be a reflection of an increase in price for these two cards, but I think it's more of a case of the buyer wanting these cards no matter what. Past sales for these cards in the same condition are on average lower than these final prices.

I was watching these 2 cards and even though the prices were high I predict they double in the next year due to their scarcity.CN
