I won the only three lots I bid on, two of which I won with my initial placeholder bids from weeks ago (1969 and 1970 Milton Bradley baseball games with cards, and McLaughlin Coffee trade card lot). Of course, those were the ones I wouldn't have minded getting outbid on, and the one I was most interested in -- an Arbuckle Coffee lot of 10 trade card sets, 558 total cards -- went for more than I was hoping to pay, but I'm glad I got it in the end. It was just me vs. one other guy, with quite a bit of back and forth bidding at the end. I'm glad so few people in an auction like this are interested in trade cards, because I feel like I got a good deal -- almost 700 trade cards from the 1890s that I didn't have, all for around $2K.
