Will you continue to "eat" the pay pal fees in the future? You will need to make this clear before the next one. If he answer is "yes" than that's swell...I see Goodwin, not that it is with Beckett, also suddenly started accepted Pay Pal this month, and maybe Sterling too....

I'm interested in this as well. If I had known that, I would have rather paid by PayPal instead of sending off a paper check. I could have gotten my winnings faster and not been penalized for sending a check.

I paid this morning with paypal and there was no fee increase. I was pleasantly surprised. Now can't wait for my card! Will post a scan when I get it. Very impressed with this initial auction!

Great first auction
 

Andy, thanks for the update.
You and the boys put on a great auction, especially considering this is the first one. A wonderful catalog and very fast shipping.
It's hard to knock that combination (and I won't:D)

I'm very happy with all aspects of this auction. Also, the card i won is now in my top 5 all-time favorites!
It showed up in the mail today, securely packaged with the proper applied layer of tape:D

HOF collection
 

Not to hijack the thread by any means, but Brian- that is an amazing SGC HOF collection. Some really great cards in there. Something to be very proud of! I could see having lots of favorites in there!!!

Hof
 

Thanks Eric

I've been having fun compiling that collection over the years.
It pales in comparison to many collections here, especially since the bulk of them are low-grade.

But to get back to the intent of the thread, I already wish it was time for auction #2 for BST, as I would love to add another gem. This was one fine auction!

665 lots, so I'm guessing we here in Net54 have a lot of show and tell remaining!

Grows on you, it does,
 

Ya don't say, Patrick... and nice pickup, Bob! If I'd have realized the auction closed on Saturday and not Sunday :eek::eek:, I might have bid you up on the Nelson.. glad you got it and are close to wrapping up the Cycles!

Still waiting on my winnings. Definitely a learning curve with how to deal with this new auction house. Not bad for their first effort. I will definitely not be sending anymore checks!!". Lol

Thanks for the post Andy, I had no idea that you would send consignor's checks out so quickly. I went to my PO Box and there it was sitting in my box for who knows how long. I didn't expect it for at least another month!

In addition the lot that didn't sell was also returned immediately.

The only learning curve will be how to adapt to superior customer service. Thanks guys!

My auction winnings
 

Just got it today! Looks even better in person than the catalog!
Thanks to the guys at BST auctions for a great auction!

I got the card I wanted most in the auction, and won the other lot I wanted. I was only charged $10 for shipping my 14 graded cards, and when the box arrived, the shipping label said $16. I wouldn't expect that to happen again, (and actually I'd prefer to pay the actual amount) but this shows me that these guys will be more than fair with shipping, which I greatly appreciate. I was very impressed with the entire auction and buying experience. Thanks guys!

This card slides into my top 15 or so favorites:

Good to see Vic kickin' around
 

Hey Luke ... nice pickup, love the card.

I was Vic's caretaker (that exact card in a BVG holder) for a couple years - I think 2010 - 2013, I sold off all my cards (except T207) a while back and don't really regret it, other than timing, but when is that ever perfect?

Thanks Mike! Thanks for sharing the story and scan. I plan to keep that one in my collection for a long while.

I consigned and received my check within nine calendar days after auction close. I've never experienced that before.

Mr Victor Saier arrived in Socal in time for spring training along with the rest of the Cubbies. yea

Bst
 

This was a very well run auction, Good job!!

Smilin'
 

I took Chuck's suggestion and just used the BST scan in my registry rather than trying to get my scanner working with WIN8 when it obviously doesn't want to.

Anyway, here's my solo win in BST.
