Hard to say...this is one of those cards that got bumped like overnight. One day in 2014, it's like someone flipped the switch and said "This isn't a $5,000 card anymore....this is a $15,000 card"....Did the "buyer's group" do that?? Who knows....maybe 6 months down to line, people will realize that they overpaid and be hoping and wishing they can get $10,000 for theirs.

Agreed.

And while I am not calling out the post as wrong when put in the proper area or context, having to try to support a value by attempting to draw up other sales vs letting the market dictate does not support a strong argument toward value.
