I wanted to clarify his comments on me offering him the jersey. It turns out that we both went into the auction with the same max price in mind. I went to the auction with a $1200 to $1300 limit in mind, and Scott told me he had set a $1200 limit for himself. Going in I didn't know if I'd have to pay that, but with the online portion, and the number of big time buyers in the room, I thought there was a good chance. At the end of the day, I was buying to resell (I am a diehard collector, but not of baseball items), and Scott was buying for his own collection. With that in mind, I offered it to him at the total that either of us would have had to pay by winning it at $1200.00. It is a great uniform, and I would have loved to have it until someday I sold it, but I am glad at the end of the day Scott is ending up with it.

Isn't Scott Forrest MUCH BETTER IN PERSON/ON THE PHONE?? I mean.. MY GOD!!
Hhahaha... glad you two were able to figure it out like gentleman.

Awesome scorecard Joe

Keith was a great guy about this, but I would not have thought a bit less of him if he had just said "sorry dude - tough luck". For me, this was about getting the secondary AH's to take internet bidding seriously or stay out of it. Keith's selling this to me was a great gesture.

Keith even measured the jersey for me, so I'll wear it for Halloween and post a pic. You really can't imagine how excited I was when I thought I had won it.

Yeah, we figured it out. But Wilson's still hasn't - they sent me another invoice this morning for $944. They are upset that I am not paying them!

Since they don't handle shipping, I sort of get it - I would pay them, then the shipper would have to go find the item, and of course, would not be able to. Then I would be out an extra $944 on top of what I have paid Keith. Wow.

I guess now they will sue me or post my name as a non-paying winning bidder.

Okay I know this is not pre-war, valuable, or interesting to anyone but me. Nonetheless I love it and have never come across another. I am on a tight budget and it cost me the princely sum of $3.00. However I cannot imagine very many of these have survived let alone in this condition. It even has the coupons for a free a cheese burger attached. Every starting member of my beloved 1971 Bucs share tips on baseball. If I had this inside information earlier I probably would have been patrolling the outfield at Three Rivers rather than enjoying the glamour of social work. I took my kids to McDonalds tonight and they were rewarded with a Monster High bucket containing their happy meals. I like my treat more! Thanks for indulging me.
