Thanks for the contest! After the week of bad news, that's the perfect person to win this contest. Probably the most positive guy on the board, congrats Johnny!!

Thanks Dave. Much appreciated as a diversion from the bad decisions many collectors made in the other thread.

Now about that 530am time to close. How many of us over 50 yrs old stayed up? I love Al and the auctions but please close them earlier. Tell people it's going to close at 3am on that night....close it at 315 and be done with it....just a suggestion..... The older I get the less I like all night auctions.....but I do understand. I fell out at around 1am or so CST......

I placed my bets and went to sleep at midnight. No way I am sitting up hitting the refresh button all night. And a little surprised there weren't more emails about imminent closing, etc.
Having said that, I am very happy with the pieces I got, and it feels nice having dealt with what everyone says is one of the good guys. The slime surrounding this industry as a whole is starting to get to me.

I kept setting my phone alarm. Admittedly it was painful .
At 315 CST I finally just put in a max bid ( which held up well below it) and called it s night. While NOT a lot my lot closing guy...ill admit I like my sleep
