That's exactly what I'm talking about, Scott.
Over the years, I've gone through that same scenario dozens of times, getting absorbed in something else while waiting for an auction to end, and then forgetting about it. I used to set my microwave timer, and that worked pretty well. But we got a new microwave, and the alarm isn't loud enough. I suppose a cell-phone might have an app for such; I'll have to ask my wife as I use her old hand-me-down phone. Now that I think of it, I'm wondering if my computer has such a function; that would be best! Anson, I think that your miss will work out for you as you'll get a nicer card in the future. I know that you're collecting the set, and here's a short print that I missed/fell asleep on, that I hope you got: http://www.ebay.com/itm/1911-T205-Pi...vip=true&rt=nc Last edited by dougscats; 03-08-2016 at 08:41 AM.

A few years back REA had a lot of Rose Co postcards and one of the names listed was "Graham". For a half second I thought to myself "Moonlight Graham?" I shrugged it off, however, because I had never heard of him having a single issue much less a Rose PC. More importantly, REA didn't highlight the the particular card with a stand alone scan or mention in the lot writeup. He was just listed as "Graham" in the list of names. I passed and continued perusing the auction. Sure enough in the REA pickup thread, there it was. A Moonlight Graham Rose PC.

About a year ago, Jim Stinson put up a large lot of signed 53 Topps, including several tough ones. At the time, I didn't know him from Sam Hill, so my thought process was 'eBay auction + tough autographs - TPA certs (I know, I know) = probable fake'. If you go out to the sidewalk near my house, I think you can still see the indent I made from head banging there after I found out that he is very reputable. A bunch of them went for less than I would've paid.
