First half of the auction (most of the cards) had the live auction last night. Second half (more memorabilia, autographs, etc.) goes off at noon today.

I got skunked after chasing a big lot (for my pockets).
unfortunatly a slew of lots I would have put another bid on (d304's the single N36's) were already closed....sooo many cards I collect, and nothing... I found myself really disliking the format, perhaps staggering the closing times or running it over multiple days ??

...probably just sour grapes and a rainy morning after.

Nothing for my collection but did get some of the D304's. They were very low priced in my opinion....but, what do I know?

I used to gripe about their website (to them too) but have come to like it now. I still don't care for mixing live bidding with phone and internet but last night I thought it was only internet? At any rate I watched all of my lots close and was happy when they did.

Funny story. You know you are an addict when.....

I was talking on the phone with a friend while some lots were winding down. I thought one I had bid on was really low, and it only had about a minute left on it. So, while I am talking to my friend about it, trying to up the bid, I hit the submit button....but the time had run out .......then I saw I was already the high bidder and won the lot ....My friend and I laughed about that one.

I won 4 lots from them. I really like the individual closing times, rather than dragging things out until 4 in the morning......makes bidders **** or get off the pot!

There was no live part of the auction for yesterday for the cards. Jonathan from Heritage confirmed that here:

Basically, at 10pm CST, all lots entered extended bidding with the 30 minute rule with each lot closing individually.

I thought that many lots that I followed went for really low prices. Both Magie's, I thought were really good deals. I really wish I had more cash on hand to put in a few bids. The Neilson Chocolate Type 2 near set, I thought also went for a good price.

Some lots did go higher than I expected. A Neilson Chocolate Type 1 Ruth didn't meet reserve at $800 (before BP), and I purchased one on ebay (from Mile High) in the same grade for less than $600. Similarly a Willard Chocolate Cobb went for more than I thought it would. There were others like it, but in general, I thought prices were really good where I really wish I had more cash to spend on cards.

...I came away with this pair of signed beauties. Very happy!

My first Wagner! I was more than a bit nervous bidding on this, but a PSA 2.5 went for several hundred dollars more in REA 2010, so I think I did okay.

The Neilson Type 2 lot went to me...along with the Johnson/Harris Exhibit lot and one of the PSA 9 1967 lots. Let me know if there are any individual cards you might be interested in!
