I did not get the ABs, I was going to bid like everyone else.
I live in western Canada, T206s did not migrate up here so I rely on eBay and the BST. I owned 15 T cards at the time and only 2 purchases through eBay.
I saw several cards offered by a pawn shop, no bids on 90% but he did not ship to Canada. I called and asked if I could buy a few as a lot and they said all or nothing. I made a very low offer (one card is worth 100+ times as much, not % but multiples) and they took it, minus a few that had bids already which was fine (T205 Mathewson and a few HOFs).
The guy ended up sending me way more cards than I wanted, all but the Mathewson, even 47 T205s which i don't collect. I mailed them back upon their request (long story), as well as 1/4 the T206s. I had no idea you could end an eBay auction if someone already bid on it.
One of my first posts was discussing this lot. I have learned a lot since then, most importantly that it's just cardboard.
