There seems to be a lot of lot numbers missing in the realized price list, which sure seems to imply there were reserves on a number of these contracts. I don't mind reserves, but I avoid auction houses that use hidden reserves. If that is the case, I won't be bidding with them in the future.

Rick, I don't know if it means there were hidden reserves. If you use their advanced search to look for items that were in past auctions, these don't show up there either. But you could be right - maybe they flag such items in their system to hide the trail.

I'm sure you could call them and ask what happened to the Campanella, Mantle and Williams contracts, and they would tell you.
