Yup. I refer to this the giddy tax. There are certain auctions where there is a sense of pride collectors take in overpaying and participating. Nobody steals anything in REA...they generally pay up.

Price of card -- whatever.
Feeling of community -- priceless.

Like the old AMEX commercials' slogan...membership has its privileges.

Gee (certain) folks- anyone envious much? People "take pride" in overpaying?
That's nonsense. I've won plenty of REA items despite not being made of
money, and not having the secret "membership" alluded to above. Isn't it
just possible that there are people who recognize quality and do their best
to win a coveted piece? Aren't cards an extravagant collectible market? (that
last word is important). The original post was merely a heads up that REA
opened- and apparently the floodgates with it. Good Lord, the whining is
unreal.

No no, please do not do that King, I might end up being resigned to submitting 71 Hodges cards to SGC.

It is really too bad that my ignoring you is not enough for you to act civil. You really that angry, King?
