So, I am out of the market and one of my main competitors was the seller -- that is two big, historic bidders that were not bidding last night.

I think this situation highlights how rare and obscure pieces are particularly sensitive and susceptible to the addition or removal of a few motivated bidders with the resources to really run up the score.

That and if one or more of those bidders somehow misses the auction, including because it�s being held on a platform that doesn�t attract as many eyeballs, then it further impacts the outcome.

And for those of us whose purchasing history matches this pattern, I guess we can all hope that when we decide to sell, someone else (or better yet, a few someone elses) just as passionate will step in and be ready to bid like drunken sailors to buy our stuff.

I also was surprised to see that kind of set on PWCC. And surprised to get this Cubs HOFer for a reasonable price. I was tempted to chase that Lenox Brown Orval Overall but thought better of it.

I have bid on a few in past auctions and won one for a pretty penny recently. I won't bid in PWCC auctions...no matter how much I want a card. So, count someone else out who has paid through the nose in the past. Beautiful cards. Glad they found several homes.

I haven't bid with them yet but since they were sold, I am going to bid in the future. Different ownership, different ways of doing business. To each their own though.

Thanks everyone for the comments.

I was able to snag the Frill and Schlei.

Now I just need to find a Drum, Carolina, and Uzit ;-)

Anyone selling (PSA 1/2)?
