That's 4 huge auctions ending in a period of 5 days. And this doesn't even include REA, Heritage, VSA, Goldin and the new Sports Auction Company, all of which end within a few days of that cluster as well.

I really hate that they are so bunched together like this. Why is July so sparse, and August so jammed? Did some researcher determine that August is the best month for auctions (for some unknown reason?)
I may be off, but a big thing to consider with auction ending late in August is the National and promoting. AH's can collect last minute submission and showcase highlights during the show. Wouldn't made sense to end the auction right before the largest show in the country and be left with an empty table and months away from another auction.
