That's it right there. Back in 2006, I missed out on one on eBay of a particular player. For most of the auction it stayed low, leaving me thinking I was gonna get the card for an okay price. On the last day, the card more than quadrupled, and quickly left my price range. Actually, it went about 3x as high as any card I had ever bought at that time.

Had I known at the time, that would be the only one I'd see in 5+ years, I'd have been more active that last day of bidding, rather than just sitting there slack jawed and disappointed as the price climbed.

Regards,

Richard.
