Why did this T205 (PSA 1) common sell for over $100??

Possibilities:

1. Stupidity
2. Shenanigans
3. Errant bidding (11.34 bids as 111.34)
4. Us t 205 collectors now have much more valuable collections (lol I wish)

I took a hard look at the idea of a variation. I see none. The color shift to that degree is common in 05s and commands no premium unless very pronounced.

Doesn’t look like a color shift to me. One side of the Baseball diamond has an extra white line. A shift would be universal on all sides.

Search the card on google images. They all look like that, it's a shift in the gold diamond border. Nothing special.

I was a little intrigued by this and looked around at Murphy cards this past week. It seemed to me that a great of chunk of the cards I’ve seen have the white line. I’d guess around 40% or so. Still have no clue how the seller got such a price for a common PSA 1.

I did some researching
The POP on this card is only 7
This is one of the rare crappy variations
of the card
Also a vintage OG PSA holder
