Some days you just don't feel like getting outbid.

Today was one of them. Coin tripled in price during live bidding. Looks kind of cool!

    Congratulations!! I know the feeling. There is an auction coming up with a coin that I don't want to lose.

    To prevent that from happening, I always discipline myself with a plan of a strict bid limit on each coin or card that I really must have.....

    .....then with around a minute to go in the auction, that plan sometimes goes right out the window. :|

    I lost one over the weekend. I bid strong but not strong enough, as my heart was not fully into it.

    However, when my mind Is made up and I am resolute; I am tough to beat.

    Congratulations! That's an interesting piece.

    Sometimes, it’s better to be LUCKY than good. 🍀 🍺👍

    This thread displays very clear a dangerous train of thought that I myself have partaken in.

    Congrats! Sometimes you just have to go for it!

    Love the old ANACS small slabs and this one is an error too!

    Things change. When the small white ANACS slabs were in current usage they were regularly disparaged by most large dealers and many smaller ones as well. Now there seems to be a certain nostalgia for them, but there are limits. The top "sticker" won't be found on them. I wonder if that is actually being viewed as a positive thing by many current collectors?

    Note: I sold some coins in small white ANACS slabs to a dealer last year. He still disparaged them when it was time to buy. Don't go overboard when buying them.

    All glory is fleeting.

    You may not feel like getting outbid but do you feel like getting buried? :o:D;)

    Depending on the price, I might not mind being buried for something I really want.

    You only go around once, PH.

    Sorry to be a contrarian, but I've been collecting for over 50 years. I can count on one hand the number of coins which sing to me. If they don't sing to me, I set my max bid, and forget it.
