What could have been...
Other than perhaps a George Gibson photo, I can't remember ever winning any items with Mastronet or Legendary Auctions.
However, I did have contact with Doug Allen when I first started chatting on the original Full Count Baseball Chat Board. As luck would have it, Doug mentioned that he had put in a place marker bid on a lot of 1910 Tip Top Bread cards, and to his surprise the bid held up.
I had been looking to upgrade my beat up 1910 George Gibson D322 for years, and I traded Doug a Gabby Street scrap T206 (catching) with only yellow and brown colors for the Gibson D322. It's always been one of my favorite cards in my collection.
At the time, I remember chatting with Doug about him starting a new job with a baseball auction company in Chicago, and I remember thinking, "what a perfect job...lucky guy."
Now 15 years later I can only think.....what a waste.
A cautionary tale of greed!
