What's up with Mears???

[GoCubsGo32]

I'm still wondering if I won...? I tried calling but they are closed..any guesses? It's like my bid went through..but doesn't reflected it? Am I reading this right?

I was happy to see that final bids on all 6 items I was involved in, were higher than I planned to go. So no big deal I suppose.

I was interested in the Mantle 1951-60 index bat, but surprised they didn't mention that the weight was significantly higher than anything he ever ordered during the years when he ordered that model, and that it was an inch short. Shouldn't that be in the description? Maybe I'm wrong on this Bat experts?

I tried for 2 hours to get in and just gave up. This is two auctions in a row that I participated with Mears that had severe issues

I got lucky, I was sitting at work last night. After an hour or so of frustration, the system seemed to start working well for me about 11 pm. I must say, everybody must have given up, because I had bid on 10 lower-priced items and didn't get outbid on a single one.

Congrats - anything interesting?

I liked the prices of a lot of the game-used baseballs, but wasn't confident enough in the provenance. I was hoping the Joe Jackson decal bat and the KC Maris baseball would slip through the cracks, but no luck.

For $43, I thought this ball pitched by Bunning was pretty cool (I know, grain of salt.) Considering he lost to Bob Gibson in this game, I'll take it.

But I'm most excited about the 1947 Bob Feller signed ball. I know, it's Bob Feller. And many of the purists will again post that it's personalized and on a side panel, but come on, this ball dates to the meat of his career!

In my opinion, both were great purchases - if you want a Feller autograph, I don't think this one can be beat.
