Actually, I consider John (hi John) one of my best hobby friends and I have to congratulate him on NOT winning it. For all of the reasons he stated, I don't believe it was a good deal at that price point. Again, just my opinion but I am very happy John doesn't have a 31k common card, of which if history repeats itself, will come up again...and next time for a lot less money, most likely. JOB WELL DONE on using your head more than your heart, John. And as one of the most passionate collectors around I do understand it's a bit of a two edged sword too. There will be another my friend....

John, thanks for the note.
I'm a bit sad to hear you didn't get it for your run...but also happy that you didn't spend the coin. Your reasonings make sense John and I can't see that card hitting close to that price again. Chances are good that another one will show up, especially after word of an auction like this gets out. I read that these Hindus showed up after the consigner heard about the E98 find. In two months 55 new red hindus hit the hobby....you just never know what's out there.

I assumed John won it too, because it was the last one he needed for his Murphy run. But the price makes no sense at all. Yes, at the particular moment two people were willing to go that high. But the card is likely not unique- these things were mass produced- and that price point is unlikely to ever be duplicated again.
