Old Judge auctions prices????

I think the question was valid and I didn't get the impression that Andrew was accusing anybody of wrongdoing, merely questioning what he thought was an unusually high price for a lot of commons.

However, I think the answer is pretty simple. As anybody who seriously collects this set is no doubt aware, high grade examples of ANY card are few and far between. Many of the cards in the lot of 16 would likely grade at or near the top of the registry, for those interested in such things (and are just really outstanding examples for those who aren't). Based on the fronts at least, I don't see anything that would grade lower than a PSA/SGC 5 with most at a 6 or even 7 (7.5 with the right connections ). When you couple that with the outstanding reputation of the seller, I think the per card price is actually quite reasonable.
