in the Moses household as I woke up fulling expecting to be outbid on the Old Judge banner. With juice it hammered at least 1000. less than I expected. Despite my reluctance to do so based on so many discussions here and in the free market - I had to sleep and executed a "left" bid only 2 bids above my final winning bid. I "won" it at my initial amount. It is elegent and refined as well as rare and historically significant - at least to me. Yeah!!!
