joe brennanI made my first bidding mistake today on e-bay and boy it coulda been a bigger one. I use a snipe service and had 2 snipes set for today. I entered both in between phone calls at work and thought nothing of it. Well I check a few minutes ago to see if I had won either. Sure enough, I had one them both. My high snipe was suppose to be $28.00 for each card. I won one for $24 and change and the other $48 and change? HUH ??? Well I look at my max snipe and it $2800.00 !!! I musta forgot the decimal on that one. Just happens the under bidder has been buying T206's for a premium and his bid for this PSA 2 MK was $47 and change. About twice what I would pay, but thank goodness he didn't put in some really crazy bid just to win it. I'll pay for my mistake and acually the card does present itself well. Like I said though, it coulda been much worse. Joe

Look at the under bidders history for T206's and you'll see some pretty hefty prices paid for them. Thank goodness this wasn't a PSA 4 or I might have bought it for $150+.

A scared man can't gamble and a jealous man can't work.
