All of the people are real nice so that is always a plus. And if we think median age of this board is bad I bet the show was about an average of 65-70. (I am not dissing those ages as I see them in the headlights for myself!!)

Less than 12 hours after the auction opened and prices for the E97 black and whites and Home Run Kisses are already at what they have been selling for on ebay! Looks like Leon and Scott are going to have a very successful auction if this is any indication of how these and other cards are going to fare.

A general question-Do people think that the auction's open format (you can bid any time, even in the last 15 minutes, whether you have bid on a lot or not) holds down early bidding? Is there any incentive to bid prior to the last hours of the auction?

It probably does hold down early bidding but so long as the hammer bidding is as strong as possible, which is the point of the open format, it doesn't matter.

with some of the high openings it might be better to get in that initial bid at market price where a 2nd or 3rd bid would be "reaching".

The countdown is on...good luck everyone!
