I attended in person. I traveled a distance to try and buy some of the cards. Initially the photos didnt look right and they were selling a T206 Honus Wagner, but I wanted to go in person anyway. A lot of the cards that were sold, prior to the Mother's Bread cards, were bad reprints. I got there and the auction set-up was completely a joke. I could not inspect the cards at all. They had an auctioneer in the back selling office supplies, and the main auctioneer was selling coins. They didnt have enough staff or the auction set-up to allow bidders to inspect the cards during the sale. I think a lot of people were mad.
But as for the auction, it was a complete gamble...a shot in the dark. However, the prices for the MB cards were strong. I was only able to buy the Miller Huggins
