Yesterday had to be my most frustrating day on ebay. I was the underbidder (2nd place) on three great items:

An Uncle Jacks Chuck Klein

A Honey Boy Tris Speaker

And most painfully of all, a fantastic 1943 Negro League scorecard commemorating Satchel Paige day, with a nice picture of Satchel pitching on the cover, and even an ad for WWII war bonds.

I can't imagine I'll be seeing these again any time soon, particularly the Paige item. Maybe FKW (who outbid me on the Honey Boy) can make me feel a little better by telling me that he bid several hundred dollars more than me so that I didn't really "almost" win it. Or maybe one of you can tell me that they were all forgeries so I was lucky to lose.

Have any of you had any days where you just missed on this many nice items?
