If the analogy is boxing, then I'm treating it like Roy Jones Jr., moving around the ring without even thinking about getting hit. To me, auctions are for bargains, and doing the math is all part of the game.
If people’s emotions didn’t easily override logic in the right environment, there would be no such thing as casinos and racetracks.

Other than Texas Holdem, I'm not a gambler. If I'm dragged to a casino, I play $5 blackjack and count facecards while the Don Rickles guy glares at me.

I like to watch horseracing, but have never bet more than 10 to win. Everyone is different.

That's for sure! The bulk of my practice used to be contingency fee construction claims, so my professional life was more than enough of a gamble. When I did go to casinos I preferred games of chance over games of skill, precisely because I didn't want someone looking daggers at me. Watch a blackjack table and then a craps table. The card players look...pissed. The dice players look like they are having fun. I'd rather have a drink, play a few rolls and saunter over to dinner than have to concentrate on strategy and the play of others.

Couldn’t resist a nice T210 MIS cut with fat borders. My first in collecting this set.

Regarding the other T210-8 prices, Series 8 is easily the toughest to collect. I am guessing two guys really needed Dobbs and a few of the others. Some of these are so tough that if you don’t pick them up when you can, you may not see them again for a long, long time. I think that we have seen T210’s slowly rising for some time now.
