Charity Auction for Hurricane (Moore OK-Tornado) Relief - ENDED

[bobfreedman]

I will be hosting an auction for the victims of the recent hurricane disaster. There will be no buyers premium or consignment fees. 100% of the money raised through the auction will be donated to the Red Cross. I am asking you to donate whatever you wish, and send it to me. I will then create and run the auction. Please email or PM me if you would like to donate something or you can send your consigned donations to:

Bob Freedman
5 Orchid Ct.
Durham NC 27713

I need to have everything by the 28th of this month and then I will need a couple of days to post the auction. We will run the auction for probably 10 days.

Thank you and I appreciate whatever you can give.

Hi Bob
Great idea. I am always game to try to help ......I will be sending this Joss and an S74 Doc White w/backing in a BVG 5 holder....really high end....Good luck with the auction and thanks again!! Hopefully others will find something to chip in too....

[vintagetoppsguy]

Thanks for the kind gesture, Bob. I will donate the 2 cards below...

[Shoele$$]

Very kind gesture Bob, I'll be sending over a couple T207s.

This is a great idea

[bobfreedman]

Thanks so far to those that have committed to donate. It would be nice to have a few more donations. Keep them coming

[Rich Klein]

Sometime this wekeend, stop by and I'll give you a lot of "off-quality" in terms of BVG graded1 951 Bowman hi #'s; but they have nice corners etc. Usually the grades are lowered due to centering.

Bob,

Are there any specific qualifications for what you are accepting? Vintage only? Modern? Cards Only... or Memorabilia too?

[bobfreedman]

It would be easier for me if we limited it to just cards and photos. I am not picky if it is modern or Pre-War. Thanks!

[JasonD08]

THanks Bob! Will ship a package asap.

Cards going out today. Thanks again Bob!! I hope more folks can find some card they can donate to the cause. It (the Tornado aftermath) really is a terrible situation for so many affected.

[Shoele$$]

[WillowGrove]

[Sterling Sports Auctions]

Card going out today, best way I can see to help these people out. Thanks Bob

[vintagetoppsguy]

Mailed mine today too, Bob.

[RCMcKenzie]

Great idea, Bob. Count me in.

[Leon]

Thanks to all who have sent something. There is still time. Surely a lot of members have a card or two they can donate. Karma is a good thing folks......It is always good to do something good .

[bobfreedman]

Thanks again for those who have sent or planning to. I know we are all a bit weary of donating and giving but I can guarantee that the folks in Moore OK will appreciate whatever we can do. I appreciate any and all donations

[bobfreedman]

Ok, Guys, we will have a 12 Lot Auction that is now open, I really appreciate everybody's contribution. The web site is:
http://sas-demo-2-com.si-sv2521.com/catalog.aspx (It is a site that I own that we use for people wanting one time auctions for charity). You will have to register to bid of course and we will not use your email address for any other purpose. Thanks again everyone and please be generous!

[bobfreedman]

Got some good bids in already, keep them coming. The auction only lasts a week. Thanks

[bobfreedman]

The bid total is around $200, lets get a few more bids in as it is going to a very worthwhile cause. Even if you do not want the card, please consider bidding. Thanks and thanks to all of those who have helped thus far.

[Wymers Auction]

Bob that Reggie Jackson is his rookie card.

[bobfreedman]

Over $320 bid and only 4 days to go!!!

I also will match the final total (up to $1,000) amount. If you would like to match the grand total as well, let me know please. If we end up donating over $1000, we can donate half of it to the Red Cross for the tornado relief and the other half to the Wounded Warriors foundation. Thanks again everybody.

James, thanks for the the Jackson error help. You think after a while that I would get my act together .

[bobfreedman]

Auction ends Friday, please bid early and often, thanks

[bobfreedman]

Two more days, c'mon guys, its for charity!!!

[bobfreedman]

Only one day left, get your bids in, win a card and feel good about helping someone all at the same time!!!

[bobfreedman]

Today is the last day to bid in the charity auction. Don't think of it as buying a card as much as making a donation. We are at $450 worth of bids and I will match whatever the bids bring in up to $1000. Thanks for bidding and thanks for donating. You guys are awesome!!

[Leon]

Thanks again to Bob for his extremely generous offering of doing all this and his matching funds.

Guys- it only takes a minute to sign up. Do something good and go bid on a card you might not need. It's for a great cause and you are helping folks who really need it.

Hi guys, thanks to everyone who participated and helped, we raised about $1100 which once I collect, I will donate to the Red Cross. If anyone would like to donate with this, please let me know and I will be glad to add it to our donation. Thanks to Leon especially for allowing me the platform to do this with and to the board members here who participated.
