NO, I didn't get it.

It was the T206 Merkle Portrait/ Sovereign 150 graded SGC 60.
I expected it to be in the $100-150 range. Instead it went for $522.

I would really like to know whom I was bidding against.

There were some strong results in this auction. I got aced out of a 1956 Topps Mantle BVG 3 so I went on eBay and grabbed an SGC 3.5 for $2 more including free shipping.

Some poor sap took a bath on the Weil Bender. Been there.

I couldn't believe it didn't go higher than that...

Was happy to pick up a few of these. There were some pretty good deals, I thought.

I picked up one of the t205s also. I'm down to 14 cards to complete the set.

It's a nice card but the 60 is a very generous grade for that card
with those corners.
