Most definitely as this is the first time that I can remember a copy of Bat 1 going for less than its condition guide value as this copy here sold at a 14% discount to guide:

I am quite sure that the Slightly Brittle pages had something to do with it, but maybe Mitch's doom & gloom Covid-19 prognostication might also be kicking in here, especially for some of these high dollar value books that tends to show up in every single auction. Buyers are probably being a bit fussier in this type of economic environment for these types of books since they know that they can be more selective.
someone made off with a great buy, brittle or not.
