"My father would womanize, he would drink. He would make outrageous claims like he invented the question mark. Sometimes he would accuse chestnuts of being lazy. The sort of general malaise that only the genius possess and the insane lament. Our childhood was typical. Summers in Rangoon, luge lessons. In the spring we'd make meat helmets. When we were insolent we were placed in a burlap bag and beaten with reeds - pretty standard really."

    You probably lost it by a lot more. But it still sucks.

    No, it was only by the .55. Otherwise the bid would have gone to the next increment.

    Snipe higher next time. I never snipe for an even dollar amount.

    The snipe amount wasn't the problem, Bobby. It was well in excess of previous sales. Oh well. You win some, you lose some.

    I won a card last week by 13 cents.

    Pays to bid using all the decimal points.

    That was me -- my exact snipe to the penny image

    I've been looking for a nice example of that card for quite a while -- it sold for about $100 more than I had hoped -- but still very pleased to have it.

    I'll keep an eye out for you.

    Welcome to the club. I once lost one by a stinking nickel. Moral: If it is a card you really want, just set a higher bid.
