I remember once I jumped on to the net to place my bid as I had been watching the time on my watch. I get on and the bidding had ended 20 minutes ago?? Turns out my watch battery had died and time was literally standing still (according to my wrist watch anyways) I cant recall what book it was for as it was a few years ago. That's how life rolls sometimes. yep. Not meant to be and there was a reason I was not able to buy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AJD Posted January 5, 2018 Author Share Posted January 5, 2018 1 hour ago, Artboy99 said: That and just my bad luck to miss the CGC 7.0 and CGC 6.0 copies that were available last year but due to silly circumstances I could not bid. Like being stuck at work longer than I should have been and not being able to connect to the internet to place my bid, to finally getting to log in to discover it had sold less than a minute ago. 54 minutes ago, jhutton2 said: Yeah, I have been there too brother.

That's how life rolls sometimes. I feel your pain guys. But try being in a completely different time zone if you really want some scope for missing opportunities to bid. I recall waiting to bid on a lot in a Heritage auction, and just as it came up (a bit after lunch on Monday here)the chairman of our company knocked on my office door and asked if I had a minute.

Popular Post gino2paulus2 Posted January 6, 2018 Popular Post Share Posted January 6, 2018 Posted in the Have a Cigar thread but it fits the bill here...HAPPY HUNTING everyone in 2018. I got an email from Teds SuperWorld Comics with TONS of great Lou Fine covers. Got there a little late as a few of the ones on my list were already scooped up. Great prices though so check it out!!
