1972 Baseball Uncut sheet

Did anyone else see this? I was watching this auction on Ebay just to see how it would turn out. Over $1700!!, is that about right or a crazy price? Sorry I can't provide the link but it closed this morning. Paul

Another was listed on ebay about 6 weeks ago......it had a BIN of $700 and sold in less then a few hours!!
1955 Bowman Raw complete with 90% Ex-NR or better
Now seeking 1949 Eureka Sportstamps...NM condition
Working on '78 Autographed set now 99.9% complete -
Working on '89 Topps autoed set now complete
I was floored by how high this one went- well over double what it should have. All I can think is that there are a couple of new guys going after '72 sheets.
Always looking for Topps Salesman Samples, pre '51 unopened packs, E90-2, E91a, N690 Kalamazoo Bats, and T204 Square Frame Ramly's
What I love about these items is looking at the placement of the cards on the sheet. Interesting how many of the cards around the edges are not really notoriously tough cards. At one time I recall the Phillies Rooks, Freed, Series 1 checklist , a few of the leader cards and some others being tough to find with NM-MT or Mint centering but nothing like a Kendall , Mcrae or Foli.
What's funny is that the cards at the very top end of the sheet . Yanks Rooks, Oliver, Mcnally and the Brewer team are among the easier ones in the entire set.
so....... under normal circumstances the sheet should have sold for about $850.00 ??
imho.........
$1700 in a few years will seem cheap!!
To put it in perspective, this '72 sheet cost less than I paid for a '49 Bowman sheet, '62 Topps hi number, and '34 World Wide Gum panel in the last year. This one had a fairly low feedback bidder as the high bid, a newly registered guy as the underbidder at 1683, and the 3rd bidder was at 1234. After that the next bidder was at $309. I"m betting the next one won't go nearly as high- Jon B. had good timing on the listing.
