Upper estimate price exceeded by more than 100%
This artwork by John F. Kennedy achieved an unexpectedly high price at Sothebys in New York in December 2018. In the Lady Blue Eyes: Property of Barbara and Frank Sinatra auction, the work Profiles In Courage. New York: Harper & Brothers, 1955 (But A Later Edition, Ca. 1959) sold for USD 16,250.00 (€ 14,184.71) - well above the upper estimate of USD 8,000.00.

C.: United States Government Printing Office, 1961 sold at auction in January 2018 with the realized price of USD 20,000.00 (€ 16,092.69).
