Robert Edwards September Encore - Thoughts? Wins?

I think the big risk is people "forgetting" about you because you aren't front and center all the time. If you only run quarterly auctions, for instance, I think you run the risk of people just kind of tuning out and not remembering when to check back in. If you run 4 big auctions a year quarterly, and you run smaller monthly auctions in between, people are always coming back to your site, they are always checking to see what is running/open, and I think it makes it easier to pump up and market your bigger events.

Gee, I look at it totally the opposite. When you are always running an auction (or it feels that way), I feel less urgency to check in with you, and your auctions seems so less like a special event to me. There is a big major AH now that just has one auction (Special! Super Special! Super amazing!) running right into the last one. In a calendar year seems like they now have an auction running 320 days a year. Don't forget about them . . . just increasingly numb to the hyperbole and sheer volume of it.

Upgraded my SC350F25 card for my back set display! Graded Good+ but it looks much nicer, here is hoping nobody messed with the scanner settings :-)

It will look nice "Backside Out" in my display case....

reasonably priced at just over $100.

I agree there are to many auctions and to many auction houses have back to back to back auctions so there never seems to be down time. Causes me to to get numb to it. Also makes me not look at the "lesser monthly" auctions and might miss something. Where the Quarterly ones or the Premiere ones become my main focus.

You're quick to criticize auction houses and seem to know how best to run one. How about showing some balls and naming the ones you're talking about? Enough of the "big major AH" bullshit. Say who's not doing it right, in your opinion.

I went 1 for 3 in my bid upon items, so I feel like Rod Carew

My win was a 55 Topps Warren Spahn SGC 5

If any of you bid a million times to beat me for the E98 Dahlen SGC 20
and are interested in dangling it for sale or trade, I'd listen...

Off your meds again?

You don’t care what my opinion is, but want me to explain in?

Go scratch.
