Let's see your RMY Auction wins!

I glanced though the catalog after the auction ended (after, all I was semi-conscious in the hospital during the auction) and noticed some of the high speed 'Edgerton' photos. In case anyone picked one up, Harold Edgerton is one of the most famous and important photographers in 20th century history. He was an M.I.T. electical engineering professor who invented ultra high speed photography. You know, those iconic images of a bullet piercing a playing card, a hummingbird wings in mid flap-- those are Edgerton's photos. Many to most of his photos were shot in his M.I.T. lab. His photos are ranked as both advanced scientific experiments and collectible works of art, and original examples are rare on the market.

Damnit - I thought that was just feverish babble

A bit late to the post, but attached are my 2 pickups.

Clemente and fellow sluggers from 1960, and Billy Southworth from 1919 pirates.

First time posting pics, so I hope they are OK!

Has anyone received invoices for the auction yet? I don't want to miss out on paying but haven't seen how to do so yet.....

[tcornett]

I received an email this morning, more of a "Thank You to everyone" email, in it they mentioned that invoices will be sent early this week with detailed payment instructions.

Looking forward to paying the invoice to get the new items in my hands

I got the same thank you, that is all, but his first auction, he may be a little overwhelmed at the processing of all the final bids. I figured, if I don't hear from him by tomorrow, I will send an email.

Just logged into my RMY account and the invoice is on-line. Easy pie.

[cwazzy]

Just paid. Can't WAIT to get my meager winnings in hand.

And he's a Nebraska native...there is a museum in his hometown of Aurora, Nebraska that is pretty cool.
