1873 Boston Cabinet in Mastronet Auction

I guess I forgot to mention that I will NOT be AVAILABLE to "snipe" at the end of the auction ...

so I have NO CHOICE but to bid high now and hope I win.

I can't just wait and hope it stays low, because I will be out of commission when the auction ends.

Thus, my ONLY hope of winning was to bid REAL HIGH and try to scare other off.

Now, you may say -- what a fool to tell people this -- now they will know you are out of the race?

So what? I already bid the MOST I would pay for this card, so if I lose, I lose. I have the comfort of owning one already.

If someone else wants to own one, go for it, but I just wanted the nice people on this board to know that they can NOT win it cheap.

If I stopped even just ONE person from bidding out of kindness for me ... I saved money.
