1914 Mathewson in Memory Lane

[dplath]

I was the underbidder on the Memory Lane Matty. There were three of us until about $30,000 (incl BP). I always do my research a few days before an auction closes and come up with a max price. In this case I went into the night thinking my max was $25,000. That was only the second or third time that I didn’t stick to my number. I rationalized it because I’ve “overpaid” for big cards before and never had buyer’s remorse. I’ve only regretted the ones that I didn’t buy. Plus it’s a nice 1. Still looking for one and willing to pay top $.
