Picked this up at 1:10am. Very excited. Goodnight!

That was a short, but bloody, skirmish. I came away with the D381 Ferguson Burns and the 2 T217's. They were 'bargains', sorta. Glad to have them, in any case. Got pummeled on 25 other lots.

Let's do it again, Leon.

Congrats on the Ferguson Burns Bill. Glad you snagged one! Unfortunately my $750 bid for the Wagner D381 didn't hold up .... I was prepared to go significantly more than that but it escalated pretty quickly and I stayed on the sidelines.

Picked up the Mino/Kotton and the Contentnea packs. I gave the GQ a ride until the bitter end, but ended up bailing out at $3750 (without the juice).

Jon, couldn't have found a better home for those. Congrat's!

Didn't even notice it until a few hours before the auction ended, but I was lucky enough to win the 1949 Schumacher Service Station Vernon Stephens.

Tracked about 10 lots, but I was only able to add two cards from Leon's type set to my White Sox type set: the W600 Callahan and the Home Run Candy Appling.

Really wanted the M101-6 Schalk, but I couldn't pull the trigger on placing another bid...

I had a bid on that T209 Thompson when it was still just into four figures, and was obviously blown out of the water--wow.

To be fair, the listing says that the back is "unique to this card alone" which could be interpreted to mean that the back is only found on (all) T209 Thompsons, something which is true. While that is an ambiguous way of putting it, it's not strictly speaking a false advertisement. I do agree, though, the title made it misleadingly seem like this was a variant T209 Thompson back, something that does exist (as Mike Peich can attest). I wonder if the winner had thought that, or whether he just really, really needed that card for his T209 set.
