Auction
 

B & L:

Good luck,

That's one heck of a nice '52 Mays.


john-

Thanks for the positive responses, we feel this is one of our stronger auctions. The opening bids can be deceiving, most are very low for the end value of the item and there are NO reserves hidden or otherwise, there are some very low pop and scarce/rare cards in this auction. Every lot will sell for the minimum bid or whatever level it attains.

And yes that 52 Topps Mays is super nice for the grade, as are many of the other PSA and SGC cards in this auction. Most come from collectors that bought them for eye appeal, centered with nice color, not dealers looking to flip low end cards that barely made it into a holder.

Anyone can still register at www.b-lauctions.com and have 12 days in which to bid.

Scott

-weird -- I can't watch
 

Is anyone else having this problem w/ the B&L site? I am not getting a "Watch This Lot" button ever after (apparently) logging in successfully? Scott, Leon - any ideas?


Thx,
Tim

I got a server error after placing a bid but was able to hit the back button and got my bid to go through the 2nd time.

Tim: I have a similar problem. Just by virtue of opening the auction item it automatically puts it in my "Watched Lots" list.

I can see the "watch this lot" button. Others have had a problem with clicking on a lot and it being added to their list without clicking it. The S/W provider thought they had this corrected. Please bear with us and we will sort it out. It appears it "may" be a function of different browsers. What are you guys using?

Scott

Scott, I was having the issue of items adding to my watch list upon opening...using safari on an ipad

DJ

Was this earlier today or this evening? out S/W provider believes they corrected the problem this afternoon.

Scott

So in the last few minutes we have been in touch with our s/w and hosting company. Are all of these last reported issues very current, such as in the last 3 hours? The reason I ask is that there were a few things addressed earlier today. thanks all...

Great minds think alike!!

I have this problem as well. I also have the same problem with JVSCs auction. Y'all must use the same software.

Using IE 10

I originally saw the issue around 5pm EST...just checked again and everything seems ok now.

DJ

I think i was the first to report this to Leon this morning...still having the same problem on my Mac (Safari) at home now, and on my PC (Internet Explorer, i believe) at work. This happened with another auction house recently, forgot which one.

The first time you log in and open a few lots, no issues...once you hit the watchlist button on one item, every other lot you open automatically gets put into your watchlist...software glitch for sure. It's minor, not a big deal.

Good looking auction!

seems Ok now
 

With Firefox. Thanks guys.

Actually, I am seeing (as of 12:30 CDT) the same as others have reported -- everything I click on goes automatically into "Watching." I can live with that, though.

Looks like that's all I'll be doing anyway is watching; that M101-6 Alexander is already pricey on Day 1 :(

I had the issue yesterday around 5pm est as well..When i was placing my bids.
I just click it a 2nd time and it went o.k.
I use Chrome

+1.

Auction Ends Tonight
 

Brockelman & Luckey's Fall 2013 Auction ends TONIGHT!

Preliminary bidding will end at 10:00 p.m. EST on Saturday September 21st. At this time any lots with either no bids or only 1 bid will end, DO NOT WAIT UNTIL 10:01 to bid on these lots! The rest of the lots with 2 or more bids will enter into extended bidding periods of 30 minutes on each lot individually. If no bids are received at the end of the first 30 minutes the lot will close. Lots receiving active bidding will remain open until no bid is received after each 30 minute extension from a prior bid. We do not expect nor do we want this to be an all night affair, nor do the bidders, from the feedback we have been given. Most lots will close with 1-2 hours of the end time. As always placing maximum or "up to" bids is encouraged, as this may enable you to win an item in the event you are not available for the extended bidding. Please remember you DO NOT have to bid on an item prior to the extended bidding, As long as a lot is still open ANYONE may bid on it.

Nearly 600 lots of sets, singles and group lots, one of the few places you can still get starter lots and low priced singles sold individually, raw and graded!

There is still time to register and get approved. Go to www.b-lauctions.com and click on Register

Dame here

Same here

We will look into this. We have seen an error like this before. Thanks for letting us know. We were under the impression it had been fixed (or wasn't an issue).

I actually loved that it automatically put it on my watchlist. I can't think of another auction site that has that feature, and it saved me some time. Perhaps it could be changed to a preference?

It worked for me two days ago.I also really like auctions that close by individual lot.

So a quick update. Our s/w folks looked at the issue and couldn't replicate it. We hope it was an isolated incident and believe it was, after the fix earlier. As for changing stuff, We certainly don't want to be messing with the auction structure on closing night but we will discuss having this automatic watch feature, if it's doable, in the future.

And we like our closing method this evening, with each lot individually closing with a 30 minute rule, and all lots open to everyone until they close.

important notes
 

Please note that the initial bidding ends at 10:00 p.m. EST

All lots with either no bids or only one bid will end at that time, they will NOT be a part of the extended bidding. All lots with two or more bids will remain open for 30 minutes, if no further bids are received then they will close at 10:30. Each time a lot does receive a bid it will be extended for another 30 minutes.

DO NOT wait until 10:00 EST to start bidding on unopened lots or lots with only one bid if you have an interest in them, you will have to place a bid prior to 10:00 to keep them open for extended bidding.

Once we do enter extended bidding, you are eligible to bid on ANY lot, even if you have not bid on it prior, as long as the lot is still open.

Scott

IMHO I don't like the lots closing individually. As a buyer, if I see I'm not going to win an auction I was hoping to, I start looking for others to jump on. But when they all end individually, it's quite a bummer to not have that chance if one has ended. And as a consignor, I would lose out on those buyers "hungry" to get at least something from the auction. Oh well.....just my two cents.

Was able to get this T201. someone marked on the back, but it still displays nicely...

FWIW, I like the "lots close individually" format, but the other formats are okay too.

Awesome grab, thought about going for the Burdick T201 but passed

I'll toss up a winning thread soon as the last auction ends

Waiting on the Battle For The Broadleaf.

I won a few nice items including some Anon/Broadleaf t207s and these two cards - a gorgeous e103 Bender and a t213-3 Marquard missing the caption and a color pass or two....

Thought the prices were pretty reasonable and I was able to score a couple nice deals. Thanks Leon and Scott for another successful auction!

Agreed. I picked up a couple of items. Leon was right though... he told me it would be addictive. Another tip: don't auction while drinking.

Picked up these b/c they fit my T206 portrait needs and they're pretty cool.

http://www.b-lauctions.com/ItemImage...4702c_med.jpeg

And I picked this up b/c no one else bid on it and I like the look. I think I might get a mat and frame for it and hang it in my office.

Also, I really like that Marquard.

Another great auction guys. Congratulations Scott and Leon!

Got my main target- Brown Ink T207

http://www.net54baseball.com/picture...ictureid=12314http://www.net54baseball.com/picture...ictureid=12315

Also got a T209 Walsh on a initial bid, kinda surprised on that one

http://www.net54baseball.com/picture...ictureid=12316http://www.net54baseball.com/picture...ictureid=12317

Same here. Great card for you. Congrats.

Lost out on the one I'd wanted. Great auction guys.

Care to tell us which one you were going for?

Happy to scratch this one off the want list. Love everything about it. The pose; he kind of looks like a vampire and its the closet I'll get to his T206. The colors; not many cards out there with pink shirts.

Thanks for the wonderful auction.

Brown typing T207
 

Jack, what is brown typing T207? I have not heard of that one.

Very nice T213-3. Wanted to bid on that one too. Ended up with another photo card..

http://www.b-lauctions.com/ItemImage.../4800a_lg.jpeg

Brown Ink back instead of the normal black. I've only seen a few of them, most of them from this thread

http://www.net54baseball.com/showthread.php?t=122466

The one in the auction is one of the stronger brown inks I've seen

T207 brown ink
 

Very cool. Thanks for the explanation. I had not heard of those before. Kind of like T206 Old Mill backs. Great grab.

Great pickup. I have always loved the Plank card from the M116 set because of its resemblance to the iconic T206 card.

Odds & Ends
 

I threw in some low ball bids and won a few items. Grabbed the cdv for my pre 1880's sports collection. Not sure if I will keep or sell the other items. :)

Won 1 lot at a great price, always a fun auction

nice auction
 

Won two small lots. Really like the format of ending the auctions individually.

Best regards,

Joe

Great auction guys!!
 

Very happy to pick up these three at what I considered very reasonable prices!!

A big DITTO to what Joe D. just stated.

B & L's ending the auction lots individually, is a feature that all other auction houses should emulate.

Great auction....as usual....Leon and Scott.


Thanks,

TED Z

looks like nobody took a look at football
Much easier with no competition
Picked this up at B&L

Likes: Ending items individually, makes a ton of sense
No Shpping charge since we can arrange a personal pickup

Dislikes: Sales Tax (I know that's a legal thing), still not a fan :)

Rich

As a bidder, I love that.... But I think the consignors weren't as thrilled.

Scott and I both bid and consign to as many auctions as almost anyone. There is no perfect way to end. We think the individual ending is better for our auctions but it's not much different, in the end, than most of other ways to end. Whoever bids the most wins.

One thing I do want to mention is that we put out an email that said we do take paypal and cc, and that was a mistake. We don't. As always we take checks, cashiers checks and money orders.....as we always have. Thanks to all who participated.

I think it was nice to have most lots end at a reasonable hour...I liked it...despite going oh-fer!

Picked up my first T3 last night. Been wanting an example for a while. A 2nd Series and a variation. I'm happy.

I like the format of each item ending by itself. I was able to go to bed @11pm after picking up 3 on my want list...other auctions if you go to bed at 2am you still aren't sure if you will win or not. It's more about who can stay up longer than anything else...

I dropped out of 3-4 others when the bidding got too high (for me). I personally think there were a lot of deals to be had.

Won 2 lots, but not the one I really wanted.

Like others, I enjoyed my beauty rest.

I've always wondered:confused:, that if I get lucky in one of these auctions and win, do I get Brockelman too?:D

I don't know if ANYONE would become that luckey; and I think their wives might have something to say as well :p

format
 

2 thumbs up on the ending format. It's great for buyers. Grabbed the one card I was targeting and was in the sack by midnight...wish more houses adopted this format. Thanks.

A big +1 there!! Nice to know my results by 11 PM EST!

B'day
 

I came back from my birthday dinner and a movie to find myself the top bidder on cards of three sluggers.
Celebrating with Ruth, Foxx and Gehrig this year!

Went for a lot! Wow.

Yeah. Tough one to let go but couldn't justify a BL350 going for more then the Drum.

I was at a wedding and kept sneaking away to bid....fortunately the party and rums made up for it :)

Knocked one T206 HOFer off my list. and for the opening bid, which is a nice plus

http://www.b-lauctions.com/ItemImage.../4543a_lg.jpeg

I was able to plug a couple of holes in sets with cards you don't see too often- the orange background E98 Mack and the D310 Pacific Coast Biscuit Carlisle. Enjoyed the auction, thanks L & S.

won these two, thought auction was great! Nicely done Leon + Scott -

Attachment 115155

I missed out on all the ones I wanted, lol :(

next time!

some real nice cards though, love to see those t205's - hey anyone here get the drum?

Nice pickups Pete!

Fell asleep
 

Well I came up short on two items. My own fault, fell asleep, when I woke up at 10:55 lots were already closed. Wasn't the first time and won't be the last.

Congrats to everyone who won items! A very nice auction!

Picked up a Broadleaf T207 Otto Miller
 

I picked up my first non-Recruit T207 with an Otto Miller Broadleaf T207.

Patrick

I picked up a few that I was glad to get. Good auction. I liked the lots closing the way they did also.

I won a T210 of course!

http://www.b-lauctions.com/LotDetail...ventoryid=4509

I won the mystery lot! It was advertised as an 82 and 87 Topps set but the pictures were of 83 and 87. We'll see what arrives! I'm happy either way as the five year old who gets to put them in his album won't know the difference.

It is as advertised '82 and '87.....one of the Topps pictures got uploaded incorrectly.

Hey Mike, say Hi to Otis for me. :)

Will do, Sean. He just came downstairs and asked "to do baseball cards with me." Duty calls... :D

I was happy to land this low grade, but very nice looking Robinson.. and also definitely liked that it closed 30 minutes after the auction ended.
