JP, the owner of Memory Lane, called me today, on Sunday, to explain what happened. It turns out that a new bidder, registered and placed only one bid in the auction. That bid was on the 52 Topps Mantle SGC 30. After becoming the high bidder on his in lot, said bidder called Memory Lane to retract thier bid siting being unfamiliar with their terms. Memory Lane honored this bid retraction shortly before the auction ended as he was a new bidder. There was then a malfunction on the IT side that I did not ever receive a bid retraction notification but I was changed to the new high bidder. JP has given me the option of bailing on this lot of if I would like to (uncertain but will likely still complete the transaction).
