Good for them...it's one of those great "impossible finds" stories that we've all heard...from 1952 Topps boxes in the basement of an old store, to pristine finds of bulk vintage singles.

I think the Ebay listing you are referring to was a different copy. The seller was using the publicity from her card to hype his.

No he's right. At first she had it on Ebay for $10 and got a lot of emails asking if it was authentic and whatnot. She then got it authenticated by PSA. Another copy from a different seller appreared on Ebay and use her publicity to sell it. The old lady then sold it on that auction site.

Do you think she could have gotten more on a different auction site?

Oh, that's right. That was before PSA authenticated it.

I don't know. It was pretty well publicized so I'm guessing anyone that was following it and wanted it knew when it was going to be sold.
