Thanks Phil. Always tough to know how high to go on some of these. I have been trying on both for a long time.

Auction night justification is always fun.

1. Do I really need a new kitchen remodel?
2. How much of a loan can I get on my 401K?
3. Do my kids really need to go to a 4 year overpriced college?
4. Argh, why don't these auction houses take credit cards!
5. How much can I really sell a kidney for?
6. No! Male prostitution is out of the question.
7. Why couldn't I have just inherited money?
And my favorite:
8: Jesus, did I really overpay for that Cobb/Ruth/Jackson? I'll find a way to make it work...

I was happy to pick up the last card I needed to complete my 1971 Topps Greatest Moments set - Tony Perez.

Congrats Jay, awesome accomplishment. Someone went hard on the 71 TGM Munson last night.

Thanks, Phil. Perez went for more than I was hoping (isn't that always the case), but I really wanted to finish off the set.

The Munson ($2040) went cheap compared to the Bench ($3720).

Tough numbers when they used to be 700-900 for NM 7s but that's the way it is right now.

The one item I was able to pick up. Really wanted the other one that I kept bidding on but eventually realized that sleep was more important at almost 2am.

Had all these sets complete in the late 90’s 1968 thru 1995. Sold them before I moved to Las Vegas. Feel a twitch of sadness now. Just didn’t want to carry them around whenever I moved. Most of my collection is sold now. Prices are way to high for me now. Oh well.

Received my items today. REA is by far the best in many respects, including the time it takes to ship.

I won the Pee Wee Reese 53 Bowman. Got it today as well. Their shipping is fast.

Too funny! This list sums it up. When you have the fever, all options are on the table and rational thinking goes out the window.
