Were you planning your social life around opening night?

Actually, I'm hoping to not be in jail. About to go downtown Phoenix. Like. Now.

Be careful out there.

Well Mister Smarty-Pants, it just so happens that my lady friend and I first met on 8/16, and I was going to pop the question to her on that day in code by making sure the lot number corresponding to the date I've reserved the wedding chapel for received the very first bid.

She's very perceptive.

Now I've cancelled the reservation. I guess it just wasn't meant to be.

If my wife (also very perceptive) sees your post, she will learn of my mistresses and my life will be ruined.

To Goodwin - "stall"

To Darwin - "please delete"

Glenn, 8/16 is indeed a special date. My twin sons were born on 8/16/71. And, I got remarried on 8/16/97. On our 20th anniversary last week, #2 wifey and I went to the Wash. Nationals game - she's a keeper!

My twin sons were also born on 8-16!

Auction still isn't open I guess.

Back in October 2005 I called Bill because I was looking to buy a 1952 Topps PSA 3 Mantle for a customer. Bill said he had one that he could sell for $7500. When I received the card and credit card slips he charged me $8500. I called him and he said oh no, I said $8500, but agreed to refund me $500. Since I did the transaction by phone I had no proof. Never bought anything from him again.

my guess, it opens sometime before the closing date

ditto here...I consigned to Goodwin maybe 5 years ago and I had to hound Bill just to get paid. No thanks. There are way too many other AH's who pay in a timely to deal with such BS!

Wait, what about Elvis? And the Beatles at Shea Stadium.

The reason for the delay is obvious.

Goldin is announcing they are auctioning Goodwin's next entire auction.

I hope people realize a lot higher prices with Goldin than me! I attained substantially higher prices with Bill Goodwin and REA, but lost my butt with Goldin (twice)...
