I'll give a shameless plug to this MEARS auction ending tonight. The game used bats are amazing -- featured 1960s bats like Don Drysdale and Dick Allen are probably the very best game bats known for those players. I've consigned some of the common player bats and there are lots of great values there.

What I also really like are all the display pieces and some great exhibit card machines. Take a look -- it appears to be the best MEARS auction ever (and not just because some of those bats are mine!).

Any of you memorabilia guys know how late Mears usually runs? I am trying to plan my evening around nursemaiding some bids I have going. TIA

[sayhey24]

Because the entire auction ends at once, it usually goes pretty late -- I'm going to guess 2:00 or 3:00 EST.

MEARS auctions utilizes the 15 minute rule per lot. Meaning, if there is one bid on any lot, the auction clock resets and starts over. For anybody crazy enough to care, that means you can still bid!!!!

The number of new registrations, total bidders, and total bids is a new record for our auction houses. Additionally, total sales have set a new company record.

Thank you to all of those that have supported us, and our apologies for making all of our bidder stay up so late.
