Thanks! I won 7 items, including my primary target, and only two of them got bumped up after I went to bed (1:00am Eastern). That cost me another $80 that I thought was ridiculous, but I realize that once a bidder loses a high-end item or two, they go back and start trying to spend their money. Besides, Rhys' buyer premium is very low and I only hit 75% of my ceiling bids.
I was the underbidder on a few tremendous items: 1936 SF Seals practicing with the bridge in the background, Dimaggio as a rookie, Van Oeyen Medwick. I had planned to snipe the Edd Roush, as I'm fairly certain it's a Conlon, but ran out of steam.
My favorite photo in the auction was the 'Moses Yellow Horse'.
