I've been having a strange feeling lately and wonder if anyone else has as well. I'll look through a newly posted auction and, if there's nothing I want to bid on, I'll feel relieved. I don’t mean there are no cards I want. Who wouldn’t want a Plow's Candy Cobb or Wagner? (I bet that got your attention.)
I mean there are no cards I want that I could theoretically afford to win…but only if I bid more than I had mentally budgeted. So, I either spend way more than I planned to or I don’t win the card....either way I am not happy when the auction ends. Whereas if there's nothing I want, there's no disappointment.
And, yes, I also won nothing in the last Heritage auction despite putting in bids that were 25-30% more than I had planned to bid.
