And you are correct. I should of titled it, “I won the right to purchase the card for a higher price than thousands of seasoned, well-informed collectors decided to.” It’s amazing how this cardboard stuff turns grown men (in my case old man) into giddy children.

Hope I didn’t screw this up.

We all get giddy when we grab something we really want. Enjoy.

Just after 7pm and I’m biting my nails because I’m still ahead on more lots then I anticipated at this point. Would be happy winning three of the ten....of course I’ve been through enough of these I may still lose all ten.

I thought the whole auction had to close before deciding who won? I’m still waiting.

"THE AUCTION IS EXTENDED! All lots close at once. The auction will remain open until 5 minutes pass without a bid. We reserve the right to close the auction at any time after 10 PM EST. We recommend using our Honest Auto-Bid system to place max bids!"

Yes, any one with a single bid is still eligible to be bid on. See this card:

There are still live bidding buttons available on it.

If you click on the "Place Bid" button on the D359, it will say the lot is closed.

From REA terms: “All lots remain open for bidding until the close of the entire auction. All lots are closed simultaneously. REA does not employ a lot-by-lot closing method. Technically items that have received only a single bid will be closed for bidding during the extended period since only one bidder would have qualified to participate in extended bidding (and cannot outbid himself); however, ll lots remain open for bidding until the close of the entire auction. All lots are closed simultaneously. REA does not employ a lot-by-lot closing method. Technically items that have received only a single bid will be closed for bidding during the extended period since only one bidder would have qualified to participate in extended bidding (and cannot outbid himself); however, items without a bid entering extended bidding will remain open for interested bidders to bid during the extended bidding period. In the event an item without a bid entering the extended bidding period receives a bid during extended bidding, it will be closed to new bidders immediately as is the case with all lots having received a single bid. without a bid entering extended bidding will remain open for interested bidders to bid during the extended bidding period.

I don't think so:

"IF YOU HAVE NOT BID ON AN ITEM BEFORE 6:00 PM EDT, YOU CANNOT BID ON IT AFTER 6:00 PM EDT. Based on past auctions, it is
expected that the bidding may continue for several hours utilizing this method. If the auction continues beyond 10:00 PM EDT on Sunday,
March 24, 2019"

So if there is just the 1 bid, the person who placed it is the winner. Just have to wait for the rest of the auction to end.

Ah, cool. They should mark those items closed then. Sorry for the confusion.

All of the pre war card lots I was participating in sold for just the right amount. Nothing went crazy except for the Cicotte hand grip study photo by Conlon. Photo's seem to be the wildcard when it comes to prices. So i tread lightly because there seem to be some heavy hitters who compete for these.

I scored one of the Gypsy Queens, but I think I've never been a bridesmaid on so many lots. This one in particular blew my mind:

If anyone wants to buy any of my N154s at (the apparently discounted price of) $1,000 a piece, lmk
