When do bids start flying in at the REA auction?

[Zone91]

So if a bid enters after 4h00pm on Saturday does it show up on the auction website (does the bid count go up) or do you only receive a e-mail stating you have been outbid?

It will show up on the website and you will receive an email (if you were the high bidder before the new bid). You will be able to see real-time prices for all lots, even if you did not bid on them, at least that's my recollection.

My guess on the 52 Topps Mantle in PSA 8.5 is 300 000$ + the juice so 355 500$ they never show up in this grade and it is the Mick after all!!! It could even top 400 000$ since the last two PSA 9'S sold for 375 000$ years ago and to most this one looks very much like a 9.

It is already at a little over 225 000$ right now with the buyer's commission.

Adrian--forget the number on the flip. My Mantle is available to the first one who will pay $50k. Granted, the 8.5 in REA looks a little better, but 7x the price. This is the insanity of set registry which has very little to do with the actual cards. This is the Cartophilic version of tulip mania (look it up if you don't know what that is--you will learn something and it will keep you from posting for a while).

The entire hobby is the cartophilic version of tulip mania. Set Registry insanity is just the delusion that lies within the delusion that any of these cards are truly worth anything at all.
