Isn’t this utter insanity? Now, I am thrilled for the seller and the consignor, both of whom I know well and greatly admire. I am much less enamored with the two bidders who between them solely bid these four cards up beyond $1,595. What were they thinking? Yes, I get it that these cards were mint, but they surface on a somewhat regular basis and typically bring from $175-$300 each in the same condition. The prevailing bidder will pay about $815 per card. Why not exercise a little patience and obtain these later at a sustainable price? It is results like these that reinforce the growing perception that the collection of vintage Halloween items is a playground for the well-heeled.
