Anyway, fun auction. I scored a small group of Buchner's. Lost out on a number of other lots I wanted. Not to go over everyone's heads with literary references, but as the modern day poet, Dolly Parton once said, Here you come again, and here I go.

Some of the greatest card collections have been built on good Whiskey. Congrats on the pick up Rob, I had a consignment do well so I was able to pick up a one of my Unicorns tonight.

I was hoping for the T3 WaJo (SGC Gd+) but there were already two bidders going at it as I sat waiting, so I knew my odds weren't good. I threw a strong bid in there after midnight, but it wasn't meant to be. Odds are at least one of those bidders was a net54 member, and hopefully picked it up. If so, congrats on the Turkey!

I think I won a Gehrig photo...wasn't sure at first because of the glitches and policy change.

I think REA did a good job overcoming the extended bidding snafu. From what I can tell, every lot got at least a 10 minute extended bidding, and while things were spotty for about 10 minutes, they fixed whatever the issue was an the auction ended smoothly. Plus, considering prices how strong prices were, I dont think affected consignors much.

I picked this up. I am very happy.

Stunning cdv!

I think they did the best they could considering the situation. My only glitch was that items I thought I had won at 12:10 got reopened so I needed to wait until 12:31 to see if I won them. In the meantime an item I was not winning was closing before 12:31 because it had a bid placed on it after 12 (and I didn't want to bid on that lot without knowing if I needed to raise my bids on the other lots). In the end, I placed a bid on the lot at 12:22 just to keep it open (and was automatically topped) but I cut it too close so that when the lots I was winning closed, I didn't give myself enough time to get back into the lot I was losing. But, to be fair, since I kept getting topped by an auto-bid, it is unlikely I would have won the other lot anyway.

"Some of the greatest card collections have been built on good Whiskey"

one of the most classic quotes I've seen - nice Phil

I have a pretty unfocused collection built on bad whiskey...does that count?
