I simply didn't want to pay above market, and was fully expecting to lose out on many of my bids - even though I did hold out some hope to win at least 1 Ruth or Gehrig. I'm currently not a dealer (but aspire to deal at local shows some day). The same thing usually happens to me on PWCC auctions - my win rate is pathetic because so much of it goes above market, but I do usually still end up with something. It's a good thing that I'm not set on any one particular card or issue, and there is always next time!

The lot I lost would have been an upgrade, and I didn't expect it go for the opening bid amount, and I never planned to bid higher.
I look forward to adding these to my collection:
1920 Yankees Official Scorecard: Ruth vs. Cobb
1947 NY Journal-American New York Giants Premium
1949 Almendares (Cuban) Premium
1949-50 Almendares (Cuba) Team Photo Premium
1949-52 Brooklyn Dodgers Original Snapshot Collection (58)
Thanx for another fun auction Al, and thank you also for taking Paypal payments.
