Just checked. First day and it's already at $75 with 5 days to go. I would say it is easily going to go over $100. And for good reason. The appearance of faded color could be fading, could be from an attempt to remove the cancels, or it could be from the 3rd printing which was notoriously bad for the poor quality of the printing. A washed or faded 3rd printing would look worse than its actual condition would appear for any of the other printings. In other words, even a sound 4-margin copy with a small corner crease could look like this (though in truth I think someone attempted to clean it of cancellation back in the day). But sound cleaned copies can do rather well.
