Agreed on super deep pockets in this auction. I placed ~150 bids at my ceiling price about a week ago and didn't budge. I won only 5 of the 150:
1895 N300 Mayo's Cut Plug Tommy Tucker SGC VG/EX 50 -

1934 R304 Al Demaree Die-Cuts #15 Jack Hayes SGC VG 3 -
https://bid.collectrea.com/lots/147164
1952 Topps #311 Mickey Mantle PSA VG-EX 4 -
https://bid.collectrea.com/lots/145940
1954 Topps #128 Hank Aaron Rookie PSA VG+ 3.5 -
https://bid.collectrea.com/lots/141368
1955 Topps #124 Harmon Killebrew Rookie SGC MINT+ 9.5 - 1 of 2 - Highest Graded!
I was extremely surprised to win the 52 Mantle (about 10-20% under market price and only $3k higher than an SGC 3 in the same auction (
https://bid.collectrea.com/lots/146588)) and the 55 Topps Killebrew, as PSA 9s run for $20k-$26k
