This particular example has seen much better days (!) and I would have expected about 1/20 of what it actually went for. Does anybody have any idea why? Report this Post to the Staff

oriole Pillar of the Community Canada 5239 Posts	Posted 05/18/2016 06:21 am It was a true auction starting at $3.0, so a couple of people desperate to get this type at any cost, or mass hysteria might be an explanation. But truly it makes no sense to me. In that condition it really only has scrap value. Report this Post to the Staff

GERMANICVS Pillar of the Community Germany 1849 Posts	Posted 05/18/2016 10:48 am I agree - no rational explanation other than 'bidding frenzy'. The type is relatively scarce but certainly not rare. I have a few in my collection, including one in BU. Unfortunately, this is a case of people having more money than common sense. Report this Post to the Staff
