I wouldn't hypothesize too much. I have an email into Doug for clarification. He did go on to to say :
"In total 6 Gibson items and the Mantle glove were the only Sports lots with reserves. Every one of them sold."
I don't want to post the whole email as I think he was frustrated but the pertinent parts have now been posted. Make of it what you want, I guess.
And to Matt- His email seemingly intimated there was a reserve.
