AL - Pretty Excited!

I have finally won one of your auctions on a great card! When will invoices go out?

Hi Everybody!

It was a LONG night last night, with lots of phone calls and emails, and pretty aggressive bidding right up until the end. Thanks to everyone who participated, and to everyone who followed along. Ultimately it was our largest auction yet (Lou Gehrig bat excluded), with significantly more bids than we've had in any previous auction.

We've also got far more winning bidders than we've ever had before, which means there's lots to do before invoices go out. I would expect invoices to go out via email sometime Monday evening.

In terms of the Shriner's Show, I'd like to do it, as I had a great time in Boston last time around. I'll have to check the schedule and see how it matches up with our Spring auction.

Thanks once again to everyone!

-Al

I was also a first-time LotG winner. I picked up the 1980 Ryne Sandberg Reading Phillies pre-rookie card.

I am not really a modern baseball collector, but I have wanted a lower-grade copy of that card for a while because the Reading Phillies are the closest team to my house and the local team I grew up with. I like the fact that a Reading Phillies card is one of the more notable notable modern minor league cards.

So much for falling asleep and losing out on the one lot I actually wanted.

No one to be angry with but myself

I went to bed at 2:00am as the leader on two lots. I woke up at 7:00am, having become the underbidder on one (N284 Esterbrook) and the winner of the other. You win some and lose some. Great auction. Looking forward to the next one (and some sleep tonight)!!

Yea, the name change is horrible. If the club was that resolute in creating their own identity for marketing purposes, I could at least accept it more if they would have went with a name paying homage to the local area like what Lehigh Valley did with the IronPigs as a nod to the steel-making history of the area.

I've found the easiest thing to do with these late night auctions is just to go to bed early and wake up early in the morning and start bidding again.

As a 3-time loser on the Mastro Auctions shill list, I was naturally a bit apprehensive to hit the hay at 1 a.m. and leave max bids on the 3 lots I was most interested in. However, I know Al's reputation for honesty and was rewarded to discover that my 3 original bids held up. Bravo, Al!
