It's just that Vendomecat (which I believe is a cajun word meaning "Hal Lewis") won, and my experience in watching him devour pretty much anything I want is that he swoops down and grabs bunches of high grade stuff at once--he virtually never loses. Here, there were many others in the same or better shape that he completely passed on--in fact, he only bid on (and of course won) an SGC 60 Turner. I was lucky to win a couple, and a few with marginal centering did not even meet a fairly modest reserve. I haven't checked the pop reports, but it seems unlikely he already has all of these. Don't get me wrong, I'm not complaining that some table scraps were left for the rest of us, but again, this Veach of all things makes me wonder.
