I remember several years ago I was bidding in a live Mastro auction at the National. There was the first W555 full snapshot box that went to auction. I wanted it badly. So the bidding got to about 13k and it was me and one other bidder. We took it to about 25k and I quit. Corey S, (hey Corey) who was a very short distance from me, told me after the fact, he could see me not really wanting to bid but I was. He said by my actions he was happy for me that I didn't win it. So was I, after the fact. A few years later another came out and i was runner up again at around $2500.....The thrill had worn off when I saw the second one. Plus I didn't have as much in my piggy bank then either.
Wow that's a mega drop in price. You made a very wise decision to let that one go.
