Net54baseball Pre-War Set Group Break - Set to be Decided?

[Sterling Sports Auctions]

Sounds like a lot of people are interested and going to have fun with this. I want to Thank Leon for picking the set from Sterling, the consignor is a great guy and would also like to say Thanks.

Thanks to everyone for there participation in Sterling and Good Luck to all, I probably will get a spot myself, who wouldn't want to own a Aaron, Banks or Kaline Rookie?

I'm in as well when the buying thread starts.

Just a comment though, in looking through this thread, it seems there may already be as many as 70 buyers (although some may drop out with the post-war set). You may want to consider only 2 buying slots to start as that would push the potential buyer number to 125 total. Like me, I assume there are a number of people who have just been following the thread, waiting for the "buy" thread.

Good catch Dave. There will be no harm in starting at a lower number of spots to start with, no harm at all. We DO want everyone to be able to play that wants to. We can always have another round of buys if there are some spots left. Actually, I am a bit concerned about being able to sell all of the spots to start with, but we'll see. And for the folks that really wanted a pre-war break, my apologies. I was on the lookout and will be for the next one, depending on how this one goes.

To answer a couple of Bill's (hi Bill) questions, there will be a thread which Nick will start and anyone who checks the board at least every several days will see it. It will be almost impossible not to see. And I see no reason why a member can't buy a slot for anyone they want to, preferably after our members get all they want to. And actually it would be appreciated if there are some leftover. I am having Sterling Sports Auctions (hi Lee) ship the set straight to Nick, in order to expedite matters a little bit. I will try harder to have a pre-war group or set next time but I really wanted to get something going already and this looked like a nice set. Like Lee said, who wouldn't want that Aaron rookie (or the others mentioned)?

I was not real excited about this till it was announced that it would be a 54 Topps set. Amazing choice with the 3 nice rookies, 2 Ted Williams cards and a Willie Mays. I am in for 2 or 3 slots or what ever the limit is on the first buy in.

Got it. Thanks, Leon. If I bought a slot for anybody else, they would be a member of the forum. I will keep my eyes open.
