W575-2 Stan Coveleski
When did this card become so valuable? A thousand dollars for a VG example? https://www.ebay.com/itm/326856725987. Have people suddenly discovered this set? Or Coveleski?

His W575-2 card does seem to be seen less frequently compared to others in the set, and it is one of his earlier cards. Still it seems to be a fairly excessive ending price.

Looking at the bidding history, it looks like there's basically 3 bidders who were very active all the way up on this one. Almost makes me think that emotion and/or ego came in here, with a few bidders who were determined not to let the other guy win. Either that or they just kept climbing the ladder, because another bid isn't really all that much more than what they were willing to bid a few minutes ago.

I haven't checked the pop reports but it really shouldn't be a scarce card, as it is my understanding that the W575-2 cards were sold as a complete set with no short-prints or player substitutions. It's not a rookie card either by any reasonable definition. Probably just a couple of gotta have it now guys bidding.
Side note: I have also seen what I considered unusually high bids on 1916 m101 cards of Stan's brother Harry over the years. Maybe a family thing?

I worked on completing the set for a while, and Coveleski was a tough card to find; tougher than the other HOFers from what I can remember.
George Kelly, on the other hand, was everywhere it seems. If someone had a group of 575s for sale, you could bet that one of them was a Kelly.
