Just for everyone to know what happened, Huggins and Scott told me they did go after the bidder with no luck in contating them. No answer on phone, emails not responded to etc. I do not blame H&S for lack of trying.
I also asked them to contact the second high bidder, even though I have been told "this never works" by them and other auction houses. H&S did contact the underbidder and he was "nice enough" to counter by offering $2000 LESS than his bid. I guess you can't keep going down the line to other bidders, as where do you stop, and at what price do you want to let the item go for.
Funny thing is I won the glove originally years ago from Centerfield Collectibles who contacted me as the underbidder when the "winner" returned the glove because he could not tell it was Ashburn's. I on the other hand had photos of him holding the EXACT glove, so I knew it was legit.
