Well I was the winner of the SGC 1.5 1952 Topps Mays in the Heritage auction. Never would have thought in a million years that I would win a Heritage auction. The higher end stuff always was something that was out of my league.
Willie was the last card I needed for my low number run. I have much regret for passing on many better conditioned versions a few years ago. I committed a few months ago to getting the best version of the card I could in the low $4k range - and I succeeded here.
We will see how I feel when I have the card in hand. Whenever I win an auction of this magnitude there is the immediate feeling of I overpaid - if no one else was willing to go this high, then I must've overpaid....
I'm now going to focus on filling out some other sets where every card should be available for much less than this. LOL.
