So, as a matter of fact, if this album has an ear and DG, he would have mentioned it. It is fair to assume they are not there. What I don't like is his way of making pictures: just a glimpse of the label pulled out, no details. For an extra 10 cts his gives a full label picture, showing all the weaknesses as well.

This is the great one, IMHO. I also like Settin' The Pace on Prestige with Dexter Gordon. And with Mingus on Blues and Roots. Well almost everything, but these are standouts.

I have 4 in my set, and I am trying to get 2 more. When I bid yesterday, I was the high bidder at $60 with 6 hours left in the auction, and I bid $265 and still got outbid. Have to try again sometime...... I keep getting outbid on George Wallington 10″ records. I have 4 in my set, and I am trying to get 2 more.

I've seen this happen from time to time. Essentially, they bid against us until they just surpass your max, and then in the final moments, they wait for you to toss in one last desperate bid... That way they get the price they want or more... In the event that they win themselves, they will more often than not send you a second chance offer. (Sad but true...) I certainly concur with the comments above regarding those "high-roller" collectors out there... After all, a fool and his money are soon parted right ? (As long as it doesn't have an adverse affect on the prices for all us reputable +VG collectors out there. Unfortunately, the catch 22 is we need to rake in those “high-roller” profits to buy more records ourselves… It’s a vicious cycle !!!
