That's what happened to me. I basically ignored the previous Heritage auction since I was trying to win a few cards in the Partnerone auction, especially the Wm Paterson Ruth, but got crushed and came away with nothing. If I knew that was going to happen, I would have tried to win something in the previous Heritage auction.

I'd be somewhat surprised if you could find an E121 Ruth in a 3 for under $20k these days. A SGC 2, albeit a solid one, just eclipsed $18k

Centering could play a part in it. I paid 2x what a T205 Cobb sold for, with worse centering, in the most recent HA auction in a 6 holder. And I couldn't be happier....
