I guess that is why they call them "Competitive" sets

So, here I was bidding on the Heritage auction the other day. I never won anything, but then again the two coins that I was remotely interested in bidding on went WAAAY more than I wanted to pay for them. I didnt really need them, but I felt Kind of funny about one coin in particular. A 1954 Canadian PL-67 dollar. I have a pcgs PL-68 with a heavy Cameo, but I felt like I should bid on this, just for the hell of it. Well, when it came time, I half hartedly, bid on it. I lost. I just didnt want to go that far. It did go for a resonable $388.00 with buyer's premium. OH well. I thought that that would be the end of it. NOPE!!! The collector that is my closest competition for top set just entered it into his set. Now, I really need my coin to cross over, and not get sent back to me. I guess that is why they are called competitive sets.
