at 12.5% buyers commision on 125K, you got $15,625 commission. $7500 catalog eats 1/2 of that. There's obviously no way that additional bids would have covered the $7500 that a catalog would have cost. But....is it better to invest more money up front, hoping that down the road you'll get the bids that will make up the difference? Maybe so, maybe not. Funny how Prof. Crandoll can be here on a whipstitch to respond to any posts yet he didn't see the banner for B&L. Hmm.....sounds like an axe to me. I have a feeling that even if you had an obscure common PSA9 1964 Topps that would sell for $9000 that Jim needed that he would likely not bid in the auction. I could be wrong about that but obviously Jim's not bidding on 19th century rarities in PSA4................easy to stand back and fire salvos when your intent to bid is zero.
