I was bidding on the TaR 25, figuring I'd go to just under $2K. This would be an upgrade. Yes, the final amount shocked me, especially since it was 6.0 and not the highest graded. Is this the new normal for rarely seen Baker books? And this one is tough. But if you find a few ppl looking to finish runs and they are dedicated and have the money, this is what happens. Would this occur if the next one shows up?
The DS 21 is also a head scratcher. Tough book, highest graded but has little eye appeal since it's quite faded. Also looks less than 6.0. Easier to find than the 25 in my travels, which may explain why it didn't go for $3K. I credit Ha with really bringing home the bacon.
