Open For Bidding - Love of the Game's Late Summer Auction

[Al C.risafulli]

Hi Andy:

I've got to apologize for that. I did not write those descriptions. That's not acceptable, and not by our standards whatsoever. I will be rewriting them myself shortly and will have new descriptions before the end of the day.

Thanks for the heads up, occasionally it's difficult to get every description proofed myself (one of the drawbacks of no longer being a one-man show, perhaps).

Has anyone received their catalog yet? With 6 days until the auction closes I have yet to receive mine.

Our catalogs were mailed last Friday. TWO cover designs this time around:

Any reason why? Did the two different covers cause the delay in shipping the catalogs?

Andrew as long as you are here, is it possible to post a description of the 1973 Shur Fresh Bill Russell strip? Unusual item and to me anyhow not self-explanatory. Thanks.

Absolutely. We’ll have that up this evening.

Hi Bill!

We did two catalog covers because we're collectors. A lot of magazines are doing alternate covers these days and I think it's a neat idea. I take a lot of pride in our catalog design, and each auction I look for a special kind of image for the cover. This time I think we had two different ones I loved, so I thought it would be a perfect time to do alternate covers. It was fun to do, and I'm sure it's something we'll do again.

In terms of a "delay," we always shoot to have catalogs printed and out before the weekend prior to auction closing, which we did. Sometimes we are able to get them out earlier, but there's no delay on catalog mailings.

Good luck bidding!
