Whoops
You said the auction would end at 10 AM, and I just assumed we were all in the same time zone. Aside from that, I think it went OK. Thanks for demonstrating to all of us that an auction can be done on the BST. Maybe I will try my luck soon.

Robert, you are correct, and my apologies to you...
When I set an ending time it was after T206Collecter had bid $12.50. With him as high bidder at the time, I asked him when would he be around his pc, when would be a convenient time for the auction to end for him. Seemed a fair courtesy for the high bidder... he said 10am EST... I omitted the EST. Truly sorry. Thanks to Robert, I'll make certain to specify time zone next time. This has gone fairly well. I'll auction another T206 in the next few days. FW

Steven, the awesomeness isn't over yet. Imagine the aura that will surround the card if you send it in to SGC and have them encapsulate it with a tag that reads "Net54 Lot #1"!! Talk about Pedigree!
Rob :o)

nice one
I am happy this went fine. I don't mind them (auctions) as long as ya'll are understanding of the situation (and all were). I will reserve the right to nix them or specific people if they do one and it gets too muddied up. I strongly prefer to stay out of it, unless I am bidding
 .....Caveat Emptor and Mr.Wakefield is given a big "kudo's"......

Nashville Book Ends...
Let me first start by Congratulating you Steven, on winning the first every Net54 Auction!
I really liked Frank's idea and think it could be the birth of possibly more to come... There is no reason Net54bay can not start taking market share away from Ebay in the Baseball Vintage Collectible business. I like the SGC Encapsulate idea... That is hilarious, but actually cool too. I am honored to be the first bidder ever for the first auction on Net54. I am sure while you will have all the glory, I will be a part of some trivia contest in the future that no one will be able to answer ! Way to go on the card !

As best as I can tell, this auction has successfully concluded.
I mailed the card Monday, 6-1-09. And Steven sent payment. He's received the card, and I got payment today, 6-4. Foolish me sent it before payment was received, Steven's a good ol' boy down Tennessee way about an hour from here, about 15 minutes from where Hub Perdue grew up years ago. So I knew he'd be good for the card. I'll get another auction up soon. Might as well fool with this a few times more. And Steven, if you try to get the card slabbed as above, I'll send a letter on letterhead attesting to provenance! FW

Leon -
Doesn't it make sense to have a separate spot in the B/S/T specifically for auctions if these are going to increase in frequency? The problem with "auctions" on the B/S/T is they keep getting "bumped" to the top whenever someone else bids. An even bigger problem are these "dutch auctions" we have been seeing, in which the person conducting the auctions automatically "bumps" the auction to the top every single day due to the "price falling." It's almost like what we have now is eBay -- EXCEPT we don't have the wonderful eBay option of sorting between auctions and fixed price listings. The B/S/T used to always be about fixed price listings. I fear this new auction idea, and the signifiicant amount of "bumps to the top" that come along with that format, is entirely unfair to fixed price listings (the long staple of the forum). A separate place on the B/S/T just for auctions could solve this problem. Or, at minimum, a rule for all dutch auctions that a dutch auction seller has to just edit their listing with the "falling price," as opposed to bumping their listing to the top every single day. But maybe the solution is already here --- why shouldn't the auction folks just post and conduct their auctions in the already existing, applicable, and appropriately named "Ebay/Vintage Card Auctions VBC Forum B/S/T" section of the B/S/T??
