Super strong prices realized on the rarer items. Seems to be the trend these days, with the more common memorabilia performing just average.
I'll speak to the area I know best...
Pennants. Crazy high prices on the rare/early ones last night.

The mid-tier pennants performed pretty much as expected. I thought it was a strong auction overall. There were a few more unsold lots than usual, but the premium stuff really took off.
I considered myself fortunate (and very happy) to win the piece I wanted most...
