Yes they are having a live auction on Thursday. I hope folks will consider them, and their generosity, when making decisions on who to support in the hobby. They and the rest of our advertisers are making the party a possibility.....regards

Thanks for the kind words, Leon, and you are correct--we are having our "Platinum Night" auction on Thursday. The basic parameters will be the same--one hundred lot limit with individual lot value in excess of $10,000, a mixture of high-end single cards, sets and memorabilia. We're currently accepting consignments for that auction, but space is limited.

We'll break some news here on Net54--this is honestly the first time we've publicized it. A recent consignment to this Platinum Night auction is a portion of the Lou Gehrig estate which includes his full (jersey, pants, cap, stirrups) uniform worn for the 1934 Tour of Japan. Nobody in the hobby even knew this existed until now, so we're very excited about it. We expect a TON of publicity for this auction, and, of course, everything will be displayed at our corporate booth at the National, so it really will be the most attractive consignment opportunity of 2011. I'll step down off my soapbox now, but, again, thanks for the support.
