good luck Brian.

[Orioles1954]

Great selection of cards. However, I really dislike how the bidding ends. Not sure if I want to bid with another house where I have to wait for hours and hours and hours and hours and.....to know if I won an item. Once again, East Coast bidders get the shaft. He who stays up the latest wins!

[Jay Wolt]

Brian Best Of Luck!

Nice Auction.
A couple items I will make a run at.

I just signed up. There are some hidden gems in there. Site looks great. I do wish the 15 or 30 min rule would go on individual lots so I don't have to stay up to 3am to see if I won. I wish everyone luck.

Thanks to all the board members for your support. The auction ends tonight with initial bidding closing at 10 PM EST and the auction continuing using the 15 minute rule until such time that there have been no bids for a period of 15 minutes.

If you've placed a single bid in the auction prior to 10 PM EST, you are eligible to bid on any item in the entire auction during extended bidding. If you see a card that you think is sitting at a low price, you can bid on it regardless of whether or not you've previously bid on it.

It is not too late to register. Applications are still coming in and are being approved almost immediately. You can put Net54 down as a reference if you do not have prior auction experience. To register, you can visit here.

I encourage you to browse the auction if you haven't done so already. There is a tremendous amount of variety including some type cards you don't see too often. Here is a quick link to the site.

If you have any questions, I am available by phone (845-849-1276) or e-mail (brian@sterlingsportsauctions.com) all day and through the auction closing.

Thanks again!

Brian Dwyer
