Memory lane Auction question

[pokerplyr80]

Maybe you can still recover the outbid notification email. If you just deleted it but didn't empty your trash folder it could be there.

It also couldn't hurt to call Memory Lane directly and ask them what happened. Maybe there's a reasonable explanation.

I watched that auction and it's a great looking card for the grade. Congrats if it ends up working out.

I tried calling but no answer on Sunday. Curious if anyone else had an explanation or similar experience. I'm def calling tommorrow.

I had also looked at this card and the 51 Bowman of the Mick. The '4' was better on the 51B. The 311 was a very nice card indeed.

Memory lane saw the posting on here and called me just now. They are having their IT guy research it and will get back to me on Tuesday. I will give an update once the research is done.

JP, the owner of Memory Lane, called me today, on Sunday, to explain what happened. It turns out that a new bidder, registered and placed only one bid in the auction. That bid was on the 52 Topps Mantle SGC 30. After becoming the high bidder on his in lot, said bidder called Memory Lane to retract thier bid siting being unfamiliar with their terms. Memory Lane honored this bid retraction shortly before the auction ended as he was a new bidder. There was then a malfunction on the IT side that I did not ever receive a bid retraction notification but I was changed to the new high bidder. JP has given me the option of bailing on this lot of if I would like to (uncertain but will likely still complete the transaction).

Fwiw it's nice deal on that mantle in my opinion. Glad you got the answers you were looking for.
