The Skydash Collection ... the aftermath

I am in total agreement with Rhys (kinda starnge for two brothers to agree on anything). But before the auction him and I talked about it and our estimate on the Thorpe was in the $35-45,000 range, with the possibility of reaching into the $50,000's. The other cards also ended for about what I had anticipated, some being slightly low, and some slightly high (or at least I thought), but the condition of the cards was truly rare for the issue.

I was also kinda surprised when people were throwing out the $100,000 estimates on the Thorpe, but I have been surprised before. I think the Jackson will end for more than the Thorpe, but also not into the 100K's. The main reason the lower grade Jackson did so well was due to it being the first Jackson available in an EXTREMELY long time. This will be the second Jackson in under a year, so it will be affected, but should still reach $50-60,000+.
