Over night a PSA 2 1935 Chicle Swede Johnston came up for a Buy it now of $195. I was stoked to see the email and was ready to pull the trigger. Well, someone already bought it. Son - of - a -!@#$&.

I have been on the lookout for a lower graded one of those for my Packer HOF set for a few years now. It just slipped through my fingers.

    Dude, that sucks. Sorry for the miss! Maybe a PSA 3 or higher will hit very soon. Good luck!

    I know the feeling....I lost out on a Don Mattingly '84 Donruss PSA 10 which was snapped up by a competitor and a Magic Johnson/Larry Bird PSA 9 rookie card that were both sold about $300 each less than they normally were going for. I could've made a nice profit and reinvested back into my sets, but that's the way the cookie crumbles. image

    Sorry about your lost opportunity.....but, that just means that another one will come up for sale and you'll be able to snap it up! image

    I had the same problem with 1984 topps Tom Seaver PSA 10. Every time one would come up. Something would happen. First my youngest son decided to push the power button right before I was about to bid. By the time I got the computer fired up again the auction was over. The next 4 Seaver PSA 10s that surfaced I lost on by pennies! *$%#$#@. I finally got one but it did take awhile after my first 5 attempts! It will happen for you. It did for me eventually. Best way to look at it is winning those auctions just wasnt meant to be...

    LOL!

    I knew it wasn't you by the ID. And if you would have won I would not have been pissed either. You and I both deserve that card at that price. image

    Thanks for reminding me that I passed on a 1935 Chicle Hinkle PSA 6 for $199 about 2 years ago...
