It was a big-time hobby event in the spring of 2009 when REA sold the nicer of the two known 1915 E145 Crack Jack Advertising Posters for $152,750. The lot's description said it had never been sold before at auction, but Goober's seems to have offered it in their September 1991 catalog.

This is a ~ $1.00 card.

Am I missing something here? What's the point of shilling this card to 130x the actual value if no one is ever going to pay that?

Bidder profiles also suggest these accounts are / were shilling multiple Probstein auctions (some now NARU).
