I have not had a call in years. Last one I recall was the bidder was attending a game somewhere and had to place bids over the phone rather than online.
I also bid in about 100 auctions a year, and have not called one of them in over a decade, but certainly remember talking to Lew, Barry, Rob, Bill and everyone else in the wee hours of the morning. I don't believe it is really a factor in this era where nearly every bidder has a computer/phone/tablet of some type.
