What was/is this guy thinking? Some combination of the following, I'm guessing.

1. The winning bidder feels that somehow all the knowledgeable collectors (except one, the underbidder) missed hearing about this item, but he was lucky enough to attend the secret auction and get a steal
2. The winning bidder knows nothing about baseball collectibles, but figured that as long as someone else was bidding, it was safe for him to place another bid
3. The winning bidder thinks there's someone on ebay who knows even less than he does
4. The knowledgeable collectors weren't at the secret auction because they will all be waiting on ebay, since that's where they feel most comfortable spending their money

So, knowledgeable collectors - Don got the scoop for you. Go fish in the bay tomorrow.
