I think some of you nailed it when speaking about "passion" or "bidding emotionally".
If you're a Ted Williams guy, maybe you just see a final opportunity to pick up that Conlon you've always known to exist, and always wanted. Same goes for the Ruths - it depends on what drives you. This auction had something for everyone - it only takes two people with the same interests to drive the prices through the roof. I played the game late into the night and am disappointed where I personally ended up, but it sure was fun to watch! That 1931 shot of Ruth started around $2k and ended up around $6k or $7k in after hours alone!!! Alot of money was spent on some terrific items - I'm just glad they went to collectors who are passionate and emotional about this hobby - as fellow collectors, what more could you ask for?
