That Cicotte CJ 14 at Love the Game: What's Up?

[usernamealreadytaken]

Greg. Do you basically mean to say that you are disappointed that the card didn't sell higher? In other words, estimates (or not) and quality of catalogue pics aside, the market just didn't value the card where you would have expected and wanted it to be? Or are you claiming something else (that REA's failure to provide an estimate in the listing and/or poor pics) depressed the final price?

BTW, in my opinion, the current CJ market is being driven by collectors ticking off a checklist, not amassing the finest set. That explains the Cicotte going off. There have been quite a few Marquards on the market lately . . .

I certainly didn't claim that the failure to give an estimate in the listing depressed the price. If anything, I would have thought it might hike it. I cite it only as an indication that they, too, thought it might go higher. And I indicated earlier that Marquard is not a top-level HOFer.
