So if I try and register now, am I out of luck on this auction? How long does it typically take to get registered?

Why not just call them and find out?

I guess that would work

I would verify and confirm and be more than happy to have more bidders if I were an auction house. I remember, when I helped run an auction, approving folks to bid up to the last part of open bidding. Why not?

The T206 set auction is interesting. They are auctioning both as a set as well as individually and whatever sells for more (set vs. combined total of all individual lots) wins. Current gap is 21k in favor of the complete set. Doubt I will have a chance on any of the T206's I bid on.

Maybe this is more common than I am aware but this is the first time I am seeing it run this way.

I saw this on another auction about a year ago and thought it was a smart way to do it for the owner of the cards as it would maximize the return to them. I think this one will be interesting to see how it goes. The guess is the individual cards take the day but will a collector or dealer pay a premium for the entire 520 set? The $21k gap was $32k this morning so should be fun to see how it ends.

Good luck everyone!!

I’ve been to land auctions that were run like this but hadn’t seen it done for card sets Lot of people laying in the weeds on the individual cards right now it appears. Will be fun to watch
