The one that got away........
Posted By: <b>MikePugeda</b><p>We're always discussing cards that we've picked up, so I thought I would take it another direction.<br><br>What card(s) have you recently lost out on that you really had your hopes of acquiring?<br><br>I'll start with this on which I was the underbidder. (Dag nabbit Leon....wait til next time. Just kidding, congrats again). Post a picture if possible.<br><br><img src="http://www.network54.com/Realm/tmp/1228852989.JPG" alt="[linked image]"> <img src="http://www.network54.com/Realm/tmp/1228853007.JPG" alt="[linked image]"> <br><br>Mike

Posted By: <b>Steve Murray</b><p>I'm having a tough time coming up with just one. I guess the two most notable, the two that I whined about the most, were the Fusco Detroit Sporting Life PC fiasco and the most recent disappoinment with the Z11 Bernard.<br><br>But, as oft said, they're just little pieces of cardboard. <img src="/images/happy.gif" height="14" width="14" alt="happy.gif">

Posted By: <b>Daryle</b><p>I found a T210-8 Joe Jackson about 8-10 years ago in probably around GD condition. Could have had it for under 10K (probably around $7500).....didn't buy it. Kick myself in the @sssss everytime I get in and out of the shower

Posted By: <b>dstudeba</b><p>Leon owns an e221 San Francisco that I was the underbidder on. I couldn't go higher and still wouldn't, but I really wanted that card.

Posted By: <b>bigfish</b><p>Leon has zapped me on a Kottton Cobb, E106 Wagner, Red Cross, Ju Ju Drum..among others. I know I have outbid him once. It is all good.

Posted By: <b>leon</b><p>Man, I am not catching a break on this thread..... I guess I can't say I don't look at ebay too much....For the record I only win about 20% of my snipes. All of the cards mentioned here were for my collection so the snipes were the "need" snipes and not the "flip" snipes. No Jeff, I don't NEED any of these....but I really, really wanted them <img src="/images/happy.gif" height="14" width="14" alt="happy.gif">....

Posted By: <b>Brian T.</b><p>Well, I guess I'll join the "piling on party." I was the underbidder to Leon on a E107 Nixey Callahan in the last Goodwin auction. That one wasn't really "the big one that got away", but I figured I would join the underbidder to Leon club. All in all, I can't beat him up too badly though since we just worked a deal on a Willis E107. Thanks again, Leon.

Posted By: <b>robert a</b><p>At least now we don't have to see the dreaded "typecardcollector" after we lose out on our auctions. We'll just see t..r<br><br>Leon: You may now snipe in peace!

Posted By: <b>Dan Bretta</b><p>I once contemplated sending a leg breaker down to Texas when Leon got an auction ended early for a big lot of Kashins that were listed in the wrong category. <img src="/images/wink.gif" height="14" width="14" alt="wink.gif">

Posted By: <b>Glen V</b><p>Do these posts have to relate to Leon now? <img src="/images/wink.gif" height="14" width="14" alt="wink.gif"> Leon only outbid me on one card this month. However, his ID was listed as y***l, not t***r.

Posted By: <b>Jason</b><p>I missed out on a T205 Ty Cobb with an American Beauty back. I thought I had it as I went above its value in bidding but some other dude wanted it more. sigh...

Posted By: <b>David M</b><p>I've been outbid plenty of times, but never by Leon (I don't think!). My biggest "wish I could do it again" goes back to about 1980 or so. I had the chance to buy not one, but two 1952 Topps Mantles. But the card had gone up to over $3K and then fallen to around $1K. The guy was asking $900 each and they were beautiful. I just thought everyone would be scared of the Mantle and it would never get to those ridiculous levels again. So I opted to spend my money on a Mint 1953 Campy he had instead. Nice card, but....

Posted By: <b>Jason Carota</b><p>I thought for sure my bid was high enough, but I lost out on an M116 Ed Karger (SGC 60, I believe.) I don't have a pic, as the auction ended a while back.

Posted By: <b>Michael Steele</b><p>Barry had a really nice Purple E-94 Cicotte in his last auction. What a great card. Hung in there for a bit but was the 2nd or 3rd underbidder. No regrets but boy that was a nice card.<br><br>Hey Jason, small world indeed as I think I won that M-116 Karger you refer to (SGC 80).
