Not O/T.

Lot just hammered down at $14,000 ($16,730 with juice).

While the Net54 "cabal of four" lost out on this Lot it was fun and a pleasure working with the guys.

Do you have a link, I find the site difficult to navigate.

Can't provide link as it contains my login info. This is the best I can do.

1910 E99 Bishop & Company SGC Graded Partial Set (17/30). This set was issued by the Los Angeles candy maker Bishop and Company at the height of tobacco and early candy issues in 1910. The set depicts players from the Pacific Coast League and represents the first of two obscure issues produced by the confectionery. To give an idea as to the rarity of this issue, we simply need to refer to the population reports of SGC and PSA, which inform us that between both firms less than 100 of the E99 issue have ever been graded and this partial set represents a good portion of the entire population. This offering obviously represents a nice opportunity for the collector of the rare candy issues to get great jumpstart on completing this scarce set. Includes: Graded cards - SGC 40 VG 3: 7 cards w/ Brashear, Delmas, Hasty, Hitt, Nourse, Olsen, Smith. SGC 30 GOOD 2: 4 cards w/ Cutshaw, Dillon, Lindsay, Nagle. SGC 20 FAIR 1.5: 2 cards w/ Bodie, Nelson. SGC 10 POOR 1: 4 cards w/ Cameron, Mohler, Tennent, Thorsen. Guide Value or Estimate: $6,000 - $8,000.

Is it just me or was this auction format very confusing. Seemed like there were several different closing times: internet bidding, phone bidding, Ebay live and Live floor auction bidding. Anyone participate?

It's hard to imagine that with ten of the cards grading between poor and good they still sold for $1000 a pop. Just amazing.

Heritage format.

1. Internet bidding ended at 10:00 p.m. last night. If you had a bid in by that time you qualified for the live auction.

2. Live auction on this particular lot was at around 5:30 p.m. today. The qualifying bidders could be contacted by phone. I was and was able to bid live.

3. At the same time it remained open on ebay through the live period so not only are you bidding against qualified bidders, floor bidders but also ebay.

4. There was a live feed on the computer so you could follow the live auction.

5, Very, very interesting but I'm sorry we lost.

It was a pleasure working with you as well Steve. I'm disappointed as I was thinking we had a solid chance of winning but I'm sure there will be other opportunities. It doesn't seem that the guy that outbid us was willing to let that lot go very easily at all so who knows how high he was willing to go....

I had three Heritage lots saved in "my ebay" and they are all still viewable. In fact I just did a search for completed auctions by Heritage and over 4,000 completed auctions come up.

Hopefully the winner saw the Krapp in REA and thinks they can make a quick buck breaking it an selling it on eBay. I can dream.....

At least we were in it together and not trying to beat each other up, thanks guys.

Folks outbidding bidding conglomerates and consortiums and folks decrying 'too much, no way'... maybe I should be selling with Heritage???
