I managed to get 3 single card lots, including the E95s of Crawford and Bender (which I felt were nice values).
In general, I thought the prices were strong. I was bidding on the E106 Speaker, but it went about 30% higher than my price point (and what the exact card sold for a couple years ago). Likewise a few other cards I tracked sold for quite a bit more than the exact card sold for in the last couple years.
Having said that, there were a few bargains too.
As for the fomat of the auction...I like it. The lots that got my primary attention, I got outbid on. So I was able to move to other lots in O/T...ones I did not pay close attention to earlier. Better for the consignors and the auction house to have someone increase the price realized on other lots, rather than walking away from the auction with money to spend and no options open for bidding.
Though I can understand that a post 5:30AM EST ending is a bit much for some bidders in the East...
