Thanks Bill.
I got the Hornsby today. It is my highest graded DS HOFer at 4.5. I decided to go a little nicer than the rest (I know the group photo isn't great ... my budget being what it is the others are almost all 2, 2.5, or 3).
It serves double duty as necessary for the DS collection and also as my only Hornsby; someone I definitely want in my collection in contrast to, say, Red Ruffing (whose example in the Quigley collection features the card number written in pencil on the front top right corner). Still, when I display them all together they look better than I hoped.
I won the Hornsby by 66 cents. My snipe v. another snipe. Mine was in about 20 seconds earlier than his. If it were reversed I guess he would have gotten the card because while my bid was higher by $0.66, it wouldn't have been large enough to satisfy the minimum bid increment. I think that's right ... someone please feel free to correct me.
Thanks.
