Sometimes winning an auction means you're the guy who really understood the true value.
Congrats and I hope you love your item.

Like Mark17 said, we've all been there. I won a Lou Gehrig Wheaties five years ago in an auction that was advertised on this site. I kept thinking that another member would outbid me cuz I'm a small fish. But no one did and I got it, and it's the best purchase I've ever made.

I don't know if I'd be able to buy it today after the COVID price surge. I didn't think Wheaties had gained popularity, but everyone on eBay tripled their prices, even for Jack Armstrong!
