Posted By: <b>Bobby Binder</b><p>The Pirate Cards are stunning as well as all the material the have on display. Looking in the glass you just salivate and can only wish that one day you can acquire some items like that. The Garter Jackson as well as the other sets just leave you speechless. Looking very forward to tonight event should be a very memorable experience.

Posted By: <b>Hal Lewis</b><p>Thanks!<br /><br />But alas... I think my future is more controlled by what happens at the House of Blues tonight than it is by any books sales!!<br /><br /><img src="/images/happy.gif" height=14 width=14>

Posted By: <b>MVSNYC</b><p>i am registered to bid by phone, but in order to get a call from them during the auction, you have to (prior to the live auction) let them know if you are willing to bid the low estimate on the lots you are interested in...<br /><br />we'll see what happens.

Posted By: <b>barrysloate</b><p>Couldn't anybody just say "sure, I'll bid the low end of the estimate?"

Posted By: <b>Hal Lewis</b><p>They had better be calling everyone who is even remotely interested.<br /><br />I don't want to hear tomorrow about people who wanted to spend but couldn't get through. <img src="/images/sad.gif" height=14 width=14><br /><br />Then again... I know half of you guys will tell me this tomorrow just to get my goat!<br /><br /><img src="/images/wink.gif" height=14 width=14><br />

Posted By: <b>barrysloate</b><p>Hal- Every auction I've ever run I get a call from somebody the day after who says he forgot to bid and he was willing to go higher...I stopped listening to them. It's just noise.

Posted By: <b>quan</b><p>barry ur right. if i was interested in a card i'd be counting up till the day of the auction, not totally forget about it until the day after.<br /><br />the national must be going well, they're all too busy to update us rubes at home.

Posted By: <b>MVSNYC</b><p>yeah, i guess i could just say, yeah i am willing to bid the low estimate, then they'll call me...<br /><br />but, i am sure these lots are going to go thru the roof (at the house of blues) <img src="/images/wink.gif" height=14 width=14>

Posted By: <b>dstudeba</b><p>I can honestly say that I hope everyone there only fights for your and Scott Mosley's lots and leaves everything else to go for minimum bids...<br /><br />

Posted By: <b>JimB</b><p>Hal,<br />I wouldn't worry about that Wagner. I bet there are dealers that will bid it up to 130k or even more.<br />JimB

Posted By: <b>peter chao</b><p>I'd bid more than $130,000 for the Wagner...but I'm saving my pennies for my next visit to Vegas. Barry, I'm just trying to be original with my excuses. <img src="/images/happy.gif" height=14 width=14><br /><br />Peter C.

Posted By: <b>peter chao</b><p>Hal,<br /><br />With your book and the proceeds from the Mastro sale you are going to be rolling in the bucks, why not buy a vacation home on the West Coast? <img src="/images/happy.gif" height=14 width=14><br /><br />Peter C.

Posted By: <b>Jeff Lichtman</b><p>Hal, why not fund a think tank to finally put to rest the question that has been haunting us all for the past few months: What is the true effect of "The Card" on the value of Barry Bonds memorabilia?
