Lol Pete!! Just had my third son this past Wednesday. So, my plan was for each of them to have a Ruth RC. With the prices escalating recently, I wasn't sure I'd be able to pull one off. Thankfully, the timing worked out well.

Back in 2004 I had the high bid on a T206 Wagner (Authentic) going to the last day. Two more bids came in, and I couldn't go higher.

I told this story to my current girlfriend. We met in 2005. She always says that if she had been there, she would have helped me, and we couldhave gotten a Wagner.

Except for this: I found out that the winner of that card was Keith Olberrman. I could have made multiple bids, and he still would have beat me. So maybe you would have gotten them with one more bid, and maybe not. Could be someone wanted them much more that you did. Lets hope that you get another chance soon. :)

Reeled in a MINO and also snagged the J Wood Studio Esterbrook. Almost, but backed away from all the T214's and T215's...I thought the Orange Borders box and the Cameo Pepsins were good deals, but did not have those on my bidder card...Rob

I was underbidder on the Carrigan/Schulte/Doyle. Don't forget it comes with the Carrigan letter (signed by Carrigan) as well.

I appreciate the pep talk. I have been bummed all day. I know that the Gehrig wasn't great, but it did feel like 6 grand after BP was a reasonable price - especially with the provenance - would you agree? Knowing my personality, I would have ended up 10 grand into it committed to winning, late for the race, and irritating everyone else as the reason that the auction had not yet closed. I have been reading all of the Carter letters here on the board. I watched the Mastro video and I love the picture of the newspaper article where he is showing off the Delongs around 1950. Something about that set really spoke to me. Maybe someday it will show up again. I will be more on the ball when that happens...

I am having some remorse. I thought long and hard about the 33 Delong Lionel Carter set. I know that I can get a 33 Delong set in the future, but I doubt I will ever be able to get that set! It went for 5 grand + 1 grand BP. I stopped at 4 grand. It was at $4,750 last night and had been there for a while. It went up only $250. I woke up early this morning for the 1/2 Marathon and the auction hadn't closed yet. I am getting ready to buy a motorcycle this month, so my wife and I agreed that it was an either/or proposition. At breakfast, I thought that I am pretty deep into my 54, 55, and 56 sets with each probably pushing 5-6k with the number of grade 6 & 7 superstars and HOFers. I don't want to sell them, but I knew that I could get them again - but I would not be able to get Carter's Delongs. So, I had a quick conversation with the Mrs about using consignment credit for the sake of making one final push (I would pay up front, but the understanding was that I would consign in the fall and reimburse the account). I would then make whatever set I sold be my next project and start again.

I got the head nod, was getting ready to make one final push as I had gotten final warning. I popped open the computer and it had just closed. Maybe 5250 or 5500 doesn't get it, but I am going to wish I pulled the trigger...

Could anyone tell me how to 'cut and copy' the cards I won? - from the REA website, I mean.

I was able to win the Orange Border T210 set. I only needed two for completion and after I mix and match with my current OB's I will be able to put a nice grade set together. Ill post a thread once I have them in hand. I really wanted the pair of E222's but couldnt pull the trigger. If either owner ever looks to move them please keep me in mind. Great pickups everyone.
