There are still many lots that probably have some meat left on the bone. Thanks for the well wishes and thanks to Heritage and Peter C for helping with the collection. Its been interesting watching the bids and I am sure tonight will be no different. I hope everyone gets something they want.

Johnny- Matty proof and Mullaney seem to be doing fine.

Open Up the Chat Room?

Maybe Brian will get to it later on. He is techy, me not so much.

My bids are in and they are safe FOR NOW...
will be a late night for sure, unless I just bid it up and let it ride...
The suspense is killing me!

[Leon]

Suspense? Nah, just going "all in" with no reserve on a ton of things with no price history. No big deal...

Is there a link where I can see what the final prices were on Leo's items?

I hope he cleaned up big time,
It is an out of this world collection!

950k... Wow.
Congrats!


The question is:

Would you rather have that entire collection or a Wagner, a plank and some cash left over?

I think we're ready to go....tried it just now and it's up and running. I'll bump the thread I started about the Chatroom as well. If anyone wants to chat cards awhile, feel free to stop by!

Well, I won 2 small lots - not the 2 that I was hoping to win but I am very happy! One more that I am watching - not sure if I will pull the trigger on another bid or 2. Maybe I need another glass of wine!

I only won one lot (finished the E98 master set with the orange Walsh) but I was bidding on many, so Leon I at least helped your daughter's fund a little 😊
Congratulations on what appears to be a very successful auction and congrats also to Pete C. who did yeoman's work.

I was happy to win the lot I did! Only needed one card from the lot but pleased with the outcome. Was outbid on the only only two lots I had bid on (well one is still going)

I suppose it is improper Leon for you to offer tips on a few things that seem to be "bargains" right now? I know it might seem to some that you are trying to bid them up but since I am the one asking surely you could not be accused of doing that...As you say it is hard to judge with little or no value trail on so many of them........

[Leon]

I have said this to many friends, I will tell anyone and everyone anything they want to know pertaining to my collection. I want them to bid with the most information they can have.
Obviously I have a very vested interest but I also know more about these particular cards than most do. I have already answered plenty of questions privately. Some things I paid a ton for will go for very little and things I have virtually nothing into will go for a lot. Some things are already way higher than I expected, others not so much.

And there are a ton of things that are too rare for their own good. The market dictates the pricing. But otherwise, I am skipping my 2 softball games tonight (which are very important to me) to be around to watch *(and answer any questions I can)....

And lastly, as I told another friend and board member today, don't forget about Heritage's extended payment options. That seemed to help his dilemma of getting shut out and not being able to circle back, with the single lot by lot closing style. Anyone can PM, email or call me if they have special circumstances too. Heritage has given me a bit of leeway on a case by case basis, in length of payment terms for my collection, to help collectors be able to bid more. But if no arrangements are made otherwise, of course their regular rules apply. See their website for details.

Leon -- Wishing the auction of your collection the very best of success and fulfillment. I'm sure you put a great deal of time, effort, and enjoyment into building your array of Type cards. For so many of them, it may be said, "you don't come across this one very often." ---Brian Powell

[tonyo]

about 3 weeks ago I made note of 24 lots I thought I might have a snowball's chance on....... I just reviewed all of them and placed a bid on the only one of them my budget can still justify. In the lead for now!

Good Luck Leon, I can't imagine the emotional roller coaster you must be on!

Tony

[Jobu]

Good luck to Leon and to everyone else*


* Note: these well wishes do not apply to the item that I want most

It's just so easy to click & bid on the lots. And if you're worrying about paying for the lot and/or lots, just say to yourself, "Sometimes you gotta say, WTF"
