SteveWe wanted to wish everyone on the board a Happy and Healthy New Year and announce that the latest Clean Sweep Auction closes on February 6. As always, board members may email for a free catalog or the catalog can be downloaded as a PDF file on our home page.

(7) M101-5 George Sisler RC PSA 8
(8) E125 Tris Speaker SGC 4 (extremely rare)
(9) 1941 Play Ball paper set on original uncut sheets as issued
and much more.
We also wanted to let the board know that we have adopted what we hope will be a partial solution to the problem of an endless auction. In order to provide a disincentive to very late night snipers, bids placed after 1:30 AM will be subject to an additional 5% buyers premium each half hour. Our goal here is not to make any money from this but rather to have the auction end earlier and not reward a similar group of bidders who bid very late in every major auction. We did not use the 30-minute rule popular among some auctions as we feel that makes it very difficult for someone bidding on 10 or more lots among other reasons.
Thanks much,
Steve Verkman
