I know that it must be torture for you guys to see an auction stay open that late, but I went to bed at midnight and checked some auctions that I was just casually watching and the jump is pretty startling in some of them.

The Knickerbocker photo was sitting at $14,000 when I went to bed and it ended at $50,000. I think the Baltimore Ruth was at $200,000 and it sold for $440,000. The Butter cream Ruth was at $70,000 and ended at $95,000. That's a lot of money still coming in after 1:00 AM EST.
