Steve must have been crying into the paving fund.

Agreed. John damn near stole that set. It was definitely a buyer's market this year, though part of that was the ETF's fault.

The order of the lots in the auction was moronic and helped depress prices. Most of the rare and valuable stuff was wedged in the middle, depressing prices in the first half as some collectors saved their budget for the middle of the auction. The set I was really after, the Rembrandt, was in the last quarter of the sets. I was comfortable spending $2000 or so, yet only spent $500 or $600 because I was expecting a much bigger fight for the Rembrandt in the last quarter of the auction. I wish now I had bid higher on the Motorola; I probably would have taken it home.
