I don't agree.....with a big $$$$$ purchase such as this.....

1st..you contact seller (preferably by phone) and ask some pertinent questions that will gain
you trust in seller.

2nd..you contact fellow hobbyists in the seller's area, who can vouch for the seller's integrity.

3rd.. and then bid with confidence......the sale of this set should not have been a "shutout".

P.S......

I do not participate in the major auctions anymore, because it's against my better judgement
to be bidding at 10% increments.

Bidding increments of 10%......compounded......double the starting price in just 7 bids....and,
quadruple the starting price in 14 bids. Consequently, over-inflated "sold prices" are realized
due to this ridiculous bidding standard, that no one even questions. And unfortunately, in my
opinion, sets new unrealistic values to cards (or sets).

I aint going to follow this format. I'll do ebay....any day....with their simple, linear increments
in their bidding process.
