The only reason I can think of is 2 prosperous collectors had to have it and went toe to toe in their pursuit.

Good job getting our attention with that extra 0.

FYI, I think it is the variation of an extra grey button.

Just a typo on my part. I just felt $3,300 was a bundle for this card and thought others might be interested. Thanks, Chris.

It is a recurring print flaw found mostly on Sovereign 350's but also found on a couple of Piedmont 350's and Sweet Caporal 350/30's but I don't think that's the reason for the $3300 price tag.

I did notice that. Nothing on that auction caught my eye-except the bidding on that card. I just snagged a Demmitt St Louis for about that price-and it should grade nicely between 2.5 and 3.5.
