Mile High Card Company- May 2011 Auction- currently open

[Leon]

As a valued advertiser I want to mention Brian Drent's, Mile High Card Company Auction, which is currently going on. It's chalk full of some great cards and memorabilia. The first lot is a relatively high grade, almost complete E90-1 set. It is followed by a beautiful Joseph Hall cabinet and then a PSA 7, 1914 Joe Jackson card. There are runs of Old Judges, T's, E's, Rose Postcards and on and on. There are close to 2400 lots in all. Good luck to Brian Drent and all the folks that go for something in the auction. regards

Thanks for the reminder. Mile High really should think about doing some kind of e-mail marketing.

I saw they have a 54 wilson franks williams. I'm hoping it slides by and pick it up cheap. Always wanted that one.

Leon,

can you please let them know, that lot 2115, the 1997 University of Michigan National Championship Ring, is a copy of a real ring and not a real ring.

I can send pictures of a real ring where you can see the differences. There are already two bids on this item.

thanks!

Whenever there's a card I hope "slides by" so I can "pick it up cheap," I try to post about it.

Oddly, if I want to promote a card, I'll not say anything.

But that's just me.

Just trying to figure that one out....I am thinking "mime" or something.

If anyone here wins lot #305 I am interested in the Larry Gardner. Thanks


Oh, and as a Doerr collector I find lot #990 pretty neat!

[bobbyw8469]

LOL!!! I am guessing that you consigned the Wilson Franks Williams card Pete?? Can I ask what kind of rate Mile High gave you?

[botn]

OMG Pete! Don't look now but your 91 posts are showing.

Are there any other cards in Mile High that you are hoping will slip by (wink wink)?

We haven't had a good "Pimp My Lot" thread in a while, right?

Nope. Fairly short learning curve on this type situation.

Being new to this but interested in a few lots, how does one register without references....or is this wishful thinking.

Some auction houses will let you put a credit card on file instead of references...however, I have no idea what Mile High's policy is.
Call the number above and speak with Brian about it. His company and his call. regards

Love it that you think I consigned that item. I didn't. I just signed up with them 3 days ago and hopefully will toss in some bids. I enjoyed the "pimp my card" comment. I just rarely see the Williams in an auction format. I'm pretty new to the auction field and maybe the Williams is everywhere, but I haven't seen it too often.

Hey Pete
You haven't been on the board that long but there have been numerous threads and posts (from others) similar to this. They try to get more publicity for their card. I guess one thing that many will be asking themselves about this is why you would tell thousands of avid collectors what you hope slides by, hoping to get it cheaper (I suppose)? Your actions have done exactly the opposite of what you hope to do? So it doesn't really make sense. Nothing personal and obviously harmless but I am sure you understand folks thoughts? We are a bit jaded to this kind of behavior as you can tell >.

[sycks22]

I understand once I posted what it meant, not the smartest thing ever. I was just excited about the Williams. I can see how people would've done that in the past. It seems like 3 days after I pay for an auction 4 more pop up with auctions ending in the next 2 weeks. It's tough to keep up on everything.

LOL, we can all relate to that Pete. I thought I would explain so you would at least know where we were coming from. Hang in there. The cards are most of the fun but the friendships made (if you want to make them) are priceless. There are a ton of great folks on this board and in the hobby. There are a few bad apples but by and large most folks in the hobby want to help and are really good hearted people. best regards

To the board's credit, a lot of people have stepped up and tried to fill the void.

Hi Leon

Can someone update links to Mile High and Legendary

on the auction links page?

thanx

[Rob D.]

Just wanted to update folks that bidding continues in the Mile High auction that ends Thursday, May 19.

I've got the e-mail to prove it.

[HRBAKER]

Rob,
It is obvious to me they know where the money is.
