FLOOR DROPPING!!!!
I wish I had a boat load of $$$$$$.
Just went thru the whole thing, only place bids on 2 lots, but definitely would done 40+.
I was outbid on an item, before I clicked submit bid. LOL!!!!

I appreciate the smaller bid increments as well - bids over $500 used to jump by $100, but now just go by $50. I've asked for this before - there were times on smaller lots where I would've gone up by another $50 but not $100, so this is a welcome thing!

OK, back to drooling and gawking at the auction!!

I really wish they had a bulk bid/delete like Heritage.

I placed bids on 27 items. I have been outbid on 2 so far - top bidder on 25 worth $19,400. If I win all 25, I have some 'splainin to do to Mrs. Ailes - but if I do win the 25, I will get some great deals!!

Between 0 and I bid will hold up, most likely the former.

Whoever I am tangling with on the Mick Dice and a few other lots will get a reprieve until this evening— gotta finally get to work.

So many amazing cards for auction, most are far beyond my range due to condition. This is the first one I've signed up for. Keeping an eye out to pick up an old Cobb, Cy, Collins, WJ, Speaker or Wagner.

The REA auction is exactly what Tom Cruise would say, "Sometimes you gotta say WTF and go for it"

Well,

While there is A LOT in the auction - there is also A LOT missing (most notably Kahn's Sets, and some Topps test issues) from their blog post - a little disappointing to have to wait for that stuff! That said, I lost count of the bids I placed.For sure the most initial bids I've placed in any auction so far.

Matty - I suspect that Mantle dice is going to go crazy!! I know a couple of big time collectors with very deep pockets that will likely be going after it. Placed a bid on it just for kicks

Good luck to all!

I almost never win anything in REA. And I bid strong. I do much better in Heritage.

Sorry MattyC, Its like ice-cream, when your tempted, your gonna lick it.

I genuinely don't understand the reason for multiple early bids/battles on a lot. Unless you have a very good idea where a lot will go and want to lock up a bid level because it's going to get there anyhow, which makes some sense to me. But "tangling" with someone on opening day -- why?

I was thinking the same thing. Get my bids in and save the push for the final night. Instantly being outbid on day 1 is the norm, I'll pick my battles on the 6th.
