Default what would you OVERPAY for right now?

Posted By: steve

On rare occasion I can tend to put in a hefty bid right there on the spot.

For example - in the REA auction, well before closing day - I put in a maximum bid. The auction ended with my winning the lot below my max bid amount. You would have to say, technically, that I overbid. (1925 Exhibit Babe Ruth PSA 5, highest ever graded)

And on ebay, once in a blue moon I bid big early, and end up winning the item below my bid amount. Again case in point where one has overbid.

Agree with prior post - high end, ultra rare, major HOFers are oh so nice. You know, the ones you show your non-collector friends, and even they are eyebrow raising impressed!
