<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Arizona Jack, post: 426973, member: 9308&quot;]Can&#039;tsleep too jazzed. Heres the story.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Now, picture this. We are at a Heritage auction. Rlm and I are sitting near the front, and I excuse myself to go smoke a cig outside. </p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>On the way back in, just inside the auction room, I run into&nbsp; ( and I&#039;m not name dropping, it is part of the story ) Rick Snow and Brian Wagner. Rick is king of the Indian cents and Brian Wagner is the top guy on the planet for Matte Proof Lincolns....</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>As I stop to chat with them, Rlm starts looking to the back of the room, and I think he is looking at me, but we cant make eye contact. I start waving my hand in a circular fashion, saying &quot; come here RLM &quot; silenty to myself.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Meanwhile, I forget there is an auction going on. I am in a bidding war and dont even know it. The auctioneer see&#039;s me waving &quot;come on...come on&quot; and keeps increasing my bid. Super a#^ expensive coin, and I keep waving &quot; come on&quot;........finally ( totally oblivious to me ) I win the lot.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Rick nudges me....&quot; they need your bidder number&quot;</p><p>I say &quot;what&quot; and the whole room is staring at this guy ( me ) who just bought the rarest freakin large cent on the planet.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>When it sinks in, I wither faster than the Wicked Witch of the West when they poured the bucket of water on her. Oh My God, I am in trouble. I bought what? I BOUGHT WHAT ???</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Moral of the story. Do not pick your nose, scratch your head, rub your ear, NOTHING when in a live auction. We ironed it out, I was ready to hide under the table in front of me, and guess what? It was all caught on the DVD they sell. LMAO. I&#039;ll buy one for the &quot;posterity&quot; of it.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>See folks, I can smile now, lol. What an experience, and luckily, I have no broken bones and was not arrested and carted off to the LB jail, or banished from the rest of the show.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Yikes !!!!![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
