Accordingly, I often ignore threads on the subject rather than complain about it–that is the expected protocol, right? Now imagine my delight when there’s a thread started on a type collection–a magnificent one with (in my view) endless subjects of discussion-and from a board member no less. A collection after my own heart, with a little something for everybody that may bring out very informative posts about more obscure issues. I open that thread to see repeated ramblings that I found nearly incoherent about, guess what–T206! Better still, Frankenstein and scrap T206, where machine shop errors are elevated to cult and coveted status. More and more were my eyes treated to these posts. Now I’m sorry, but IF EVER there was a thread in which such subject could take a back seat to the topic at hand and go its own way for those who care, this was it. But no, on and on it went, with the same poster often just posting one after another.

Then, instead of getting back on track, there was a somewhat prolonged period of testimonials for this poster and his apparent unmatched “passion” and exuberance for his niche, as though the rest of us can’t get that and as if that was the point. Another day or so of few meaty posts in favor of more opportunities to hear from the T206 collectors. Thankfully, there since have been a good number of posts about pick-ups from this exquisite grouping.

I admit to having never even taken much less scored highly in an etiquette class, and by no means did I diffuse the situation here. Perhaps I am incendiary, although I am not miserable. This board and the hobby have changed over the past few years, neither to my liking. I blame no one, or maybe I blame everyone. There are options available to me, and they should be considered. For purposes of this post and thread, though, I just want to congratulate Leon and all who were fortunate enough to have won something, and hope to hear more about those winnings.
Agreed. Well said.

I won 2 of the 3 cards that I wanted most from Leon's collection:
(1) the E222 A.W. H. Caramel card of Otey for my collection of cards of Virginia League players.
http://sports.ha.com/itm/baseball-ca...links-12202013
(2) the T216 Virginia Extra of Jennings, which I wanted to go with my T216 Kotton and T216 Mino cards of Jennings with the same pose.
http://sports.ha.com/itm/baseball-ca...pleItem-071515

The third card is the T205 Hindu of WaJo, but my limit was $5Kish, and it went for a bit over $7K. I also won a Western Playground card for my type collection and a couple of other cards.

Because Heritage closes its auction lots individually, I spent only 65% of the $$ that I was fully intending to spend (sorry about this, Leon!). Once the T205 Hindu-WaJo reached the price level where I decided not to pursue it further, several lots that I would have reallocated my $$ to had already closed. When the day comes that I decide to part with my collection, I will absolutely NOT give it to an auction house that closes lots individually, for I am convinced this method does not serve the best interests of consignors.

Default No really a type card collector...

... but there was a ton of interesting stuff in there.... I bid on 20 lots or so, but only won one... This Matty.... congrats Leon on an amazing auction. Really wish that I could have picked up the Thorpe to match the Matty, but it has been a year with a lot of out flows!

For the 100,001st time, a buyer's premium is meaningless except to the consignor.

there's a reason you've had to say this 100,001 times, peter.

go ahead and regurgitate it another 100,001 times and you'll still be wrong.

the dress is white and gold.

Any intelligent bidder understands this, I am not sure why you don't Bob. But to repeat what Tom just said, and what has been said countless times, take the fee into account when deciding how much you want to bid. It's that simple. It affects the consignor not the bidder.

I have no interest in arguing w/ an intelligent collector that has to repeat something 100,001 times yet nothing resonates. w/ that being said it would be utterly useless to even tap in on your "it only effects the consignor" theory.

let's repeat one of you favorite quotes: for a man only hears what he wants to hear, right?

Absolutely +1.

Right on, Peter.

Highest regards,

Thanks Steven... not sure why that card "called" me to get it. It just jumped off the page and said that it wanted to be in my collection. Looking forward to seeing it in hand.
