CLOSED...1961 Topps $15 Auction...Day 36

[HercDriver]

OK, here's a different sort of auction. I have a bunch of 1961 Topps hanging around, so I'm offering them up this way, to keep me entertained. I already know the final price...$15 (edited from $50). But I don't know how many cards that will take. I'm going to start with these ones. Assuming I don't get a bid today, I'll add a few more tomorrow. I'll keep adding cards until I get a $50 bid. I'll pay shipping, in one of those $7.35 flat rate envelopes, so keep that cost savings in mind when bidding. Here's the one extra caveat to the bidding...once I get a $15 bid, the auction isn't quite over. Since all those big guys have extended bidding, so will I. The auction will end exactly eight hours later, based on the time stamp of the initial bid. Please bid in whole dollar increments. Since scans are hard to decipher, I've added a list with my sharp-eyed grade, which is good to +/- one grade, I suppose. If you have any questions, just ask.

BTW, you may be asking yourself, why the big jump from #40 to #225. I know it's killing you to know. Is it because these guys need a manager? Adult supervision? The lure of Candlestick Park's first Giants manager will trigger an early bid? An Angels fan won't be able to resist their initial, expansion manager? Actually none of those. I knocked the stack over when getting ready to scan my first lot. I picked them all up, but when I went to scan, Rigney was still on the floor, looking lonely, so I included him.

Have fun!
