Posted By: <b>Bob</b><p>Thanks and right back atcha' Brian. I was the underbidder on your E97 Hemphill (gorgeous card I almost died when I lost it), your E98 Kling tonight and your E98 Coombs tonight although my snipe didn't fire for some reason on that one. <br />I am curious what you thought about the prices of the E98s tonight, I thought they were very reasonable. I paid 1/2 what I was willing to go on the Evers and should have bid more on the ones you won (and others I was underbidder on) but I am saving some bucks for Alan M.'s final group, the E94s which will appear next Sunday.<br />tbob

Posted By: <b>Wesley</b><p>I am lucky that Barry now allows me to bid on bigger lots over $1,000.<br /><br />While most people paid $75 for their Mastro catalogs, due to my whale status, a former Mastro employee charge me $100 for the catalogs seven years ago. I was already bidding online and she threatened to erase all my bids and ban my participation if I did not pay this fee. <br /><br />Whale status is overrated.
