    Quite a few different bidders had an intrest in that. Nice!! Sorry you did not win it at the price you wanted. Sometimes i get ticked off at what others are willing to pay for something. ( 2009 Lincoln cents, lol)

    I was watching it, and it went way out of my price range!!
    It is not exactly cheating, I prefer to consider it creative problem solving!!!

    this one is indeed a case of sheer insanity since it seems clear that the bidders at that price are going after the case, the medal itself looking rather mundane and sub-par when compared with others that are easy enough to find. my hunch is that whoever the winning bidder happens to be intends to replace the pictured medal with an already owned choice example and the foist the pair as a choice original combination.
