It looks like there were 2 bids for the same amount placed within seconds of each other, but I have to go with the first bid.

tonyo is the winner!

I respectfully disagree with your decision.

As long as this Auction was open (8 PM CST deadline), the last bidder should be declared the winner......
in the event of a TIE BID.

There was no way that I could have known at 7:59 CST (while I was typing my bid) that another bid
had been placed at $30.

Obviously, had I known this at 8 PM CST, I would have made my bid $32.

The last bid among those of identical amounts should be considered the winner? Come on, Ted.

Ultimately no big deal and like I told vintagetopps guy when I pm'ed my contact info, if he declared Ted the winner - no worries.

However, seems to me that if the auction ended at 8:00, then a bid placed at 8:00:00 is too late - the auction has ended.

Regardless I found it a relief that Ted placed the value of these cards at $30. When the auction started I wondered how this board of pre-war collectors would embrace a reprint set. After reading the posts for the last 6 months or so, I consider Ted the foremost authority on t206's. All due respect to you Ted. I'm sure if we ever met and I got a chance to view your collection I would be in awe!

My take is first bid in, at the same amount, wins.....as Rob suggested. To me it's black and white. IF you want to raise bids then I wouldn't wait until the last minute...or this is what can happen.
