Why so much?

Indeed. Regardless of $200, I wouldnt pay more than $175 for the card. I've seen the front back combination several times. It's not extremely rare.

it's all in the fine print my dear Watson

"Cards are shipped inside bubble wrap envelope and/or cardboard box."

There's where the extra $200 goes

Obviously! How could I overlook this?!

T206Hound(Board member) bought this card from him, so I'm sure he can attest to his great shipping techniques.

I have seen 2 in the last year sell on ebay. I am sure some others sold via private transactions. According to VCP, 2 have sold since 2009. Not a very common card on the public sites. A great card, one of my favorites !!

Very true. That is graded wise. For raw stuff though, I have seen it various times. When I see a Schlei portrait, I usually assume it has a Sovereign 460 back until I look at back scans. It's a beautiful card, no doubt, but not for $455 in my opinion. But who am I to say anything?

If a Schlei Portrai Sov 460 goes for $455, then a Murphy Red Hindu must go for 30K, right? In the end it only makes sense

In all seriousness it looks like a few people battling it out in which the price goes crazy. I've seen this happen countless times and the VCP goes out the window. However, this seems to be happening more lately than ever IMO.

I completely agree with you Mike! Great point.
