In reality, I don't know if the seller actually sold them. If I remember correctly, it ended with about an hour to go and I seem to recall it being in the mid $2000.00 range. It was for 242 t206s with 39 hofs including 3 Lajoies, 4 Mathewsons, 1 Johnson, 1 Young and cards like Pattee, Lundgren(chi.) and Kleinow.
I had talked to the seller on the phone earlier in the week to ask if I could see them in person (I live about 2 hours away). In hindsight I should have offered him what my snipe would have been, but, unfortunately, I took it from our conversation that he would probably let the auction run its course. I emailed him after the sale and got no response, I just took it to mean that someone had made him an offer that he thought would be more than the final number if the auction had gone through.
