Wow. The timing of that sentence.
I wasn't going to post about this but, after reading that I have to.
Last week on ebay I bought a Koufax no hitter scored program with a newspaper for $43 shipped.
This morning, I set my alarm way earlier than I like to buy a nothing spectacular about it 1964 Koufax scored program. Bidding was at $20.50 with 4 bidders having made 8 bids including my place setter.
I have 286 Koufax scored games, this was a new one for me.
I always bid last second with a number that is more than I want to pay.
At the 20 second mark I typed 157 into the bid box, realized that I would be annoyed to lose it for $160 so changed my number to 304 with 10 seconds left.
Way too much, that's a stupid number for a random game, if somebody bids 300 I'll be pissed off,
4 seconds to go I hit bid.
Lost it by a full bid increment of $309.
Third highest bid was $20.
All it takes is 2 people who want the same scorecard...
