Key Insights

  • A Cautious and Highly Selective Buyer's Market: The auction was defined by extreme buyer caution, evidenced by a stark 50% sell-through rate and a total hammer price that achieved only 51% of the total median estimate. This significant underperformance signals a market where collectors are unwilling to meet ambitious pricing, creating a "buyer's market" environment where there is less competition but also a higher risk for sellers, advising collectors to be bold in their valuations and negotiations.
