Default CLOSING TONIGHT - Love of the Game Auctions Fall Premier Auction

Hi all:

Just a reminder that the LOTG Fall Premier auction closes TONIGHT.

In order to bid after hours, you must have placed a bid by 9PM eastern. REMEMBER that we have a new closing method - assuming that the auction is still open, at 2AM any item that has not received a bid for one our or longer will CLOSE. The remaining items will stay open under the 15 minute rule until nothing has received a bid.

Last night's Boxing session closed at 2:15. Please bid accordingly, and bear in mind that this is the first time we (or anyone else) has closed an auction with this method, so there is no way to predict how it will turn out.

Though bidding has been strong, there's certainly a good deal of value left in the auction, but I'd like to point out three in particular:

Lot #1 is a 1909 Chicago Leland Giants team postcard featuring Hall of Famers Rube Foster and Pete Hill. Photos of Rube Foster are few and far between, and there are only two known examples of this postcard. This one has the benefit of having come directly from Foster's estate. It is a super difficult and desirable Negro Leagues item.

Lot #8 is a T206 Rube Marquard "Follow Through" with the "Red 8" variation. This variation was discovered by Trae Reagan a few years ago and written about by Bob Lemke in his blog. This year, the Standard Catalog will be including the variation, and PSA has elected to recognize it as a result. This is the first "Red 8" variation to have been graded by PSA. Very few others are known to exist at this point.

Lot #47 is a really cool booklet called "Boys Who Made Good On The Diamond." It's from 1920, and I've never seen one before - it's published by Sampeck Clothes, and it includes team photos of the 1919 White Sox, along with individual pages on Babe Ruth, Ty Cobb, Walter Johnson, and a bunch of others. It was clearly produced after the 1919 World Series but before any of the shenanigans with the Series became public knowledge. I have no idea what the value of this piece is, but it's really cool, and I wanted to point it out to everyone.

In any event, good luck with bidding, and as always, thanks for all your enthusiasm and support!

-Al (and Jeff too!)

One quick reminder:

QUALIFYING BIDS FOR THIS AUCTION ARE DUE AT 9:00 PM EASTERN.

The countdown clock viewable on our website is counting down to the 1:00 "Double Overtime" deadline. Any lot that does not receive a bid AFTER 1:00 AM will close at 2:00 AM.

If you have not bid on a lot prior to 9:00 PM, you will be unable to bid on it after.

If there are any questions about this, please reach out. I realize this is a brand new closing process that hasn't been done before, so I want to make sure everyone understands it!

Regards,
-Al

Default Double Overtime or Let's Play Two

So in the past we could get up at 5AM to see the auction before it closes and place a final bid if necessary.

Now it seems that we have to get up at 2AM to find out if we can go back to sleep or whether we need to get up at 5AM anyway.

Of course if we or anyone else places a bid on our lots between 1AM and 2AM, we're doomed and will have to return by 5AM anyway.

I guess the advantages of double overtime are eluding me, except on the west coast where we at least we have a shot of actually winning something by 11 PM PST, before going to bed for the first time.

Actually this reminds me of a certain board member who creates auctions and BST listings frequently with a number of rules that lead to confusion and mayhem. If I could only remember his name, oh wait, it's frankbmd. Yikes, that's me.

So, if I got this straight, since I am the only bidder on an item right now, I should be the winner. Right?

Cool, it is the San Bernardino baseball player postcard. My homeboy. I believe this to be the 1913 San Bernardino Kittens. Finally, something my wife will like, since she loves cats.
