Leon, I don't understand how you can say the REA issues didn't affect you regarding the 3 items you won. Had some (many?) bidders not given up trying get into the auction to place additional bids, you might not have won any of the 3 lots.

My "white whale" in this auction was this Western Playground of Peckinpaugh, https://bid.robertedwardauctions.com...e?itemid=52134 , which I wanted for my collection of 1924 Senators. I am shocked at what it sold for (I didn't win it), especially as a nice SGC 30 of another player sold for half of what Peckinpaugh sold for. I assume two WP set collectors badly needed the Peckinpaugh card.

Speaking of cards that went strong, how about this PC: https://bid.robertedwardauctions.com...e?itemid=51979 I realize there are some hard-core T210 collectors, but "holy moly, that's a lot of moolah."
