Speaking of that Globe Ruth, is anyone else surprised to see it up so soon after just being auctioned by Goodwin seven months ago? It sold for $148,158.57 at that time--did someone really hope to flip it for much more so soon and at that price? Looks like it sold for slightly less now. Just trying to understand the motivation or strategy here-- buyer's remorse, unexpected need for cash, etc. would of course be possible, but seems unlikely that flipping for big bucks was realistic.
On the other hand, that exact card sold in REA back in 2001 for $8209. If the same owner sold it in Goodwin, that's a pretty nice little ROI.
