Price realized on J=K Candy...surprising or no?

I went back and forth a few times with the eventual winner of this one last night. I believe my last bid was at $1500 (without the BP of 19.5%). I couldn't pull the trigger on $1600. The question is, was this price just plain silly because of myself wanting the type card and somebody else either wanting the type card and/or attempting a set of sorts? The Kling was defined as previously unknown...I guess that could have added to it as well. I do feel like it was just me and someone fighting it out, at least the last few times.

So..economy aside, is this an undervalued set? Was this just bidder impulse? Is the VG condition that Old Cardboard lists the commons at needing to be adjusted?

Supply vs Demand. When was the last time you saw one for sale too? I think if a small group came up of 5-10 they might not fetch quite that much...unless someone was trying to do the set....regards

I used to collect these and had 11 at one time. The $1600 seemed about right for a Type 2 J=K. The type 2 are more attractive and bigger than the type one. I call type 1 the ones that were on the side of the box and type 2 as the ones that were at the box top (i.e. tat is why they are all creased through the face)

Leon-

The best thing that could happen for type collectors would be to have a small batch of 5-10 of these pop up out of nowhere.

The worst thing that could happen to "investors" or the collector that just paid $1800 for an example a week ago would be to have a small batch of 5-1- of these pop up out of nowhere.



Patrick,

Thanks for the input on where you think a current type 2 should be...my next bid would have pushed me I think to around $1925 or so after BP which I just couldn't pull the trigger on...
