Sean, I agree...what a beautiful set!

I didn't know that they could auction off the set and the individual cards at the same time and take whichever sells the highest, therefore canceling the lowest of the two. Pretty wild stuff...but I like it.

That's one of the strangest things I have seen an auction house do. You would have to think the cards sold individually will outperform the complete set. I'm interested to see how it finishes.

Several auctions have been doing this for years.

I like it too, that is a company that is working hard to get the most money for their consignor. When real estate is sold in tracts or small pieces they use the same method.

Leon is correct that our customers have been doing it for years, it is not an easy thing to do programatically especially when you factor in Max bids on the individual lots and the single lot. We just recently added the figures that indicates what the individual lots are totaling up to at the top of the lots. Hopefully that will everybody.

I did the same thing in an SCD auction in the 1980's with a large lot of Horror of Wars cards. The winner turned out to be the complete lot.

I'm a little tired and also pissed off today. Had the top bids on a number of the single M116 cards that I have been searching for. Then out of nowhere (and after 3AM EST) the set price breaks the singles price and then the auction closes.

Boom - shut out just like that, even though I had strong bids in on the singles.

Of course I knew it was possible for the set to win, given the auction format...but I honestly never ever thought it would happen.

Oh well, more to spend in REA .

Cheers,
Blair

The set price on the M116's (over 98K) was impressive. It was a top notch set, but that number surprised me, as well. Like Blair, I had some strong bids in on some of those cards - only to wake up without any wins.

I mentioned it before on this forum, but I really think the m116 set has some room for growth in terms of popularity - and this auction might be kicking that off.
