Why no "What did you get in Heritage last night" threads

I think there's no thread or general excitement because these days you need to be a billionaire to collect the kind of cards that the AH's list.

I disagree. There are plenty of fantastic pre and post war cards available at AH's for less than 1k or even less than 100 bucks. I find fantastic deals in the weekly AH offerings like the Heritage Sunday night auctions.

I will def take a look at the weeklies, admittedly have not browsed those. My experience since 2020 has been it doesn't matter if I bid 10k or 100k— prices across the board have just skyrocketed beyond the reach of all but the .1%, primarily due to a nasty brew of unsavory ingredients well documented on every chatroom.

I missed out on a perfectly centered 1973 Reggie Jackson the other night. Final bid was $78, just as bummed as missing out on a 5k card.

I wouldn't go that far but this was billed as a platinum auction and advertised as such. I got the mailer and didn't really bother with it (other than checking for one of my boxing unicorns, which I do in every auction) because I knew I was not a serious contender for anything in it. It is hard to generate buzz on an auction where most people are not realistically going to win anything.

Everyone who did get something, bravo. You landed some amazing and beautiful items.
