One of my favorite items in my collection is a postcard sent by Red Sox owner Joe Lannin from 1914 spring training (in Hot Springs, Arkansas) to Nuf Ced McGreevy in Boston. There is some great baseball content in the message. I purchased the postcard in an eBay auction, which was ending when I was on a boar hunting trip in Georgia. I was trudging through a swamp at night, by myself, with no cell signal, as the auction was coming to an end. I hiked almost a mile to where I knew I could get a signal, to place my final bid as the clock ticked down. Loudly yelled with delight when I won. Insanity for sure… but I sure am happy to have it!

Awesome Ryan!
I was hiking with my wife and father-in-law, 3 days into a very tough mountain excursion. Jamie Blundell texts me that there is a HOF BL460 on eBay that is closing the next day. I knew I was going to be out of cell service range. I am trying to balance impressing my father-in-law on my outdoor abilities and finding a way to get this card. I sneak out of our tent at 3am, total darkness, climb for over an hour up a Rocky Mountain peak to get cell service and bid one last time. I won the card, neither my wife or her dad knew.

mundane compared to some of the posted stories, but...
When the Clemente estate auction was held by Hunt Auctions, I sat in my office at work - on the phone with the auction for more than half the day - instructing my team I was in "Do Not Disturb" mode. I gratefully won a few lots, but man! did some of that stuff get crazy!
