Beautiful card and a great start M's Fan. I empathize with your "craziness." I'm pleased to say that this OJ Robinson was the last card I needed to complete the goal of having one pose of each HOFer. I'd say it took me about 8 years. Hopefully I'll be able to resist the temptation of setting another goal.

Pete- I don't think you overpaid. That was a nice card. Congrats. I picked up a few things but mainly just an upgrade for my current T205 Hindu. regards

Standard practice for most houses is to automatically put a huge # on everyone's invoice then go back and make it the correct amount on a person by person basis. It will be fixed (unless what you won was Obama's Jeep).

Best night ever for me. I have started a separate thread about the Thorpe. I'll be trying to post it as many times as possible!!!!!

Happy to have "purchased" my first choice out of some 16 cards I bid on.

Thank goodness someone else got a $1000 S/H charge. I saw this on my invoice after I won one lot last night, and I was going to have a meltdown if this was the charge. (I didn't win the Jeep either.

My shipping shows a "Grand" to. I wouldn't sweat it. It will be corrected.

Mine showed the same $1000 and now it's down to $35... much more palatable. Now I just have to figure out how to scrape together some cash to pay for it all...

I know Rob gave fair warning about the possibility of the auction closing anytime after 11PM EST but bids were coming in at 100 every 18 to 20 minutes for a few hours before the Rob shut it down. And if you look at the Recent Bids you see several big ticket items being in play several minutes prior to it closing. I know the guy has to sleep but seemed premature based on what I could see. Only 5 minutes had passed without a bid.

I agree. I think the problem is that the extended bidding session (12 hours) has normally ended around 3:45 am EST for the past few years, so bidders are not really getting serious now until around 2:30 am or so, knowing that Rob will shut it down at the 3:45 or so time. I won three lots last night and on two of them I didn't put my second bid in until about 3:22 am, knowing that I was safe. When one of the lots got into a bidding war at that time, I was worried that the auction would close down without any notice at around 3:45. My last bid was placed about 10 seconds after the other guy at around 3:42 am and I was happy to have won it.

Topsy Hartsel · #13 05-09-2010, 12:40 PM

This was one of those cards that I figured would be well out of reach for my collection. The grade wasn't the best but it is a great looking card. Best of all it is a Topsy Hartsel. Now if I could only find an E125 of Topsy.
