BST Live Auctions Section - Suggestions

[JollyElm]

• Having everything starting at a buck or whatever shouldn't be the case. You should allow the auctioneers to decide the pricing for themselves. The same weekly starting/ending time? I like that a lot.

• If the $1 (or was it 99 cents?) auctions do become the rule, then perhaps hidden reserves should be allowed if auctioneers want them for self-protection. Start the auction at $1, but PM Leon with your hidden reserve amount (I know, he doesn't want MORE PMs). That way, if the reserve is met, no problem. If it falls short, then you have proof of what the pre-auction-determined reserve was.

• The 1950 cutoff is awful, IMHO. The many people here who collect Topps-era cards (1950s - 1970s) should not be grouped in with all of the modern stuff. The most effective way to balance things would be to have three categories: pre-war, post-war Topps-era, and modern/everything else.
