Next Front Page Auction?
 
If any member wants to do a front page auction PM me about it. If no one does I will throw one up in a few days. Thanks!

Leon, is there any chance you can post what was sold in each auction and the final price? As it was a “public” auction and not a typical person-to-person BST transaction, I don’t think there is any harm is making the final hammer price known.

I ask partly bc I have a card or two I would put up there but am unsure how strong the results to the “consignor” have been.

There have been 3 auctions.
The first Ty Cobb T206 did about normal to what I was hoping for.
Then Pete Sycks did that Foxx Buttercream and I think it went below expectations by around $300...
The next was the DS Hornsby, and from talking to the seller, it went a little above what was hoped for.

I think esoteric, higher dollar cards can be an issue. But, so far, it seems the mainstream cards have done ok. If no one wants to do one I am more than happy to throw them up there for months to come!

To repeat one thing, all cards that are auctioned need to sell.....

Yes....offhand, I don't think we should have sub 100 dollar auctions....

Really like the idea. I like cards that are uncommon and harder to find.
