JoannGreat, great looking collection. Wow. I'll be watching it closely. From a financial distance, but closely watching nonetheless!
As to the auction on the main board thing - it has always been a general rule not to use the main board to publicize commercial ventures. There haven't been any or many sacred cows or free passes on this note - usually almost any commercial item on the board will eventually get a comment, question or even challenge of some kind. Just ask Bobby B!
I think everyone here feels like we are somehow part of Sky's good fortune and have watched with fascination as this vintage card fairy tale has unfolded before our eyes. It's really been a wonderful vicarious thrill ride for the board.
I think Chris asked a valid question that eventually comes up with just about any commercial post. Leon then explained nicely why this particular situation is a bit different. Personally, I agree with the question, the answer and the outcome - I guess that means I'm having a pretty good day.
I like that we are seeing the Skydash updates and think Leon's exception is a good one, but also think that gentle questioning of commercial posts can help keep everyone thinking and aware.
Just my opinion, of course and as usual.

ETA: Dave F - I don't think Chris brought up anything about outing the auction in his original post. He merely pointed out that this has now gone from unbelievable story to actual auction, and whether that meant it should not be on the main board.
As I said, I totally agree with the outcome because I feel like the board has a special relationship to this particular collection and auction. But I don't think the question was out of line, especially since it was very politely worded and far from aggressive, and he didn't say anything about outing the auction.
