Hershey, PA Live Auction 1/18

[Aquarian Sports Cards]

For those of you in the area (or willing to make the drive) we have a great live offering next Saturday the 18th.

People ask why I still do a live-only auction. These, of course, are the same people who rail against shill bidding, poor photos, bad descriptions etc. As soon as I figure out a way to solve both sets of problems I'll be rich.

In the mean time come to a live auction! See who you are bidding against (you or your agent must be present in the room to bid, we do not take absentee bids) We don't allow consignors to bid on their own items even though that is actually legal.

See the items you are bidding on in person! How hard is it to"flip" through a complete set of hundreds of cards online? What tiny flaws have you missed because even the best pictures online can't beat the naked eye?

Anyway while there's no prewar, there is an incredible post war bonanza of complete sets:

1955 Topps Complete Set
1956 Topps Complete Set
1959 Fleer Complete Set
1960 Fleer Partial Set

Thanks Don, It's tough deciding what to do live (our live auction is over 35 years old) and what to do online. I'd hate to kill off the live business as it really solves so many "problems" people have with the hobby today. Misrepresented items, crazy shipping prices, lack of camaraderie etc. Plus for post war I don't think opening it up to the world would change the end prices all that much. I have several people who could have a million dollars to spend if need be and a 1955 set, while pricey, is pretty mainstream.

Anyway we do have some members who come, maybe someone would be willing to place a few bids for you?

Thanks again.
