I liked "It's in the Cards".
But did not see it in the poll, so voted for something else. Best of luck with the auction! |

Slogan
MGM has the Latin slogan:
Ars gratis Artis. Art for Art's sake. How about: Coactos gratis Coactore. Collecting for the sake of the Collector.

So the run away winner is "Where your singles become home runs" which I would have tweaked to "Where our singles become your home runs" But even though I really like it, it is a little limited. We don't sell only singles, or even only cards for that matter. However since it won the poll the submitter, vintagecatcher, gets $100 credit to be spent at the auction that closes Sunday. But that leaves me still needing a slogan.
My initial 2nd choice was The Choice of Collectors, but an attorney friend advised me that it may be too similar to Upper Deck's The Collectors Choice. So I'm going to tweak one and make The Collector Connection, The Collector's Connection,and award a $100 Credit to brianp-beme (almost inevitable with the 18 million submissions lol) Finally we didn't get crazy scientific just wrote the voters names on a slip of paper and drew one. Congrats and a $50 credit to Toledo Mudhen. Remember these credits are for the auction that ends Sunday, so if you're not already registered do so soon! Please use your Net54 name as your username to make it easier to track who is getting the credit. Thanks to everyone for participating and please check out the auction (kinda the point of all this) still a lot of great bargains especially Goudey and Play Ball HOF'ers!

Thanks Scott for the contest and allowing me to spread slogans around like they are manure. Just be thankful, because you could have ended up stuck with "Collecting Schmellecting".
But seriously, it is cool that I had a part in 'branding' your auction house, and will be on the lookout for the tweaked slogan in your logo and hobby advertising. And I certainly will take advantage of the auction credit...there are multiple lots that I have my eye on. This type of auction allows a Collector like myself Connect with the Cards I want.

Last day, with some amazing photos, including Conlons still waiting for an opening bid. Great vintage publications such as Baseball Magazine and Illustrated Football Annual also with no bids.
HOF'ers from numerous Strip Card Sets as well as Play Ball, Goudey, Double Play and more under $10! T205 & T206 HOF'ers under $50. Don't miss out. Initial bids must be in before 10pm Eastern on any lots you might want to bid on in extended bidding!

Thanks for an amazing auction. We sold a Tolstoi Red Portrait Cobb in PSA 1 for $2600 destroying what Heritage got for one in December. Remember We're not as big as the big boys, but that card was probably on page 32 in Heritage. It was in the first line in our auction and a focal point of all of our advertising. Also, we're likely to give you better terms on a $1,000 - $5,000 card than the big houses. We offer no commission on playing era cards of Cobb, Ruth, Wagner, Cy Young, Gehrig, WaJo, and Joe Jackson. We offer 105% of hammer for nicer examples. We have to put together another Pre War for late in the year, so hit me up!

What a great auction. Was fun to bid on cool cards and not have to worry about insane sticker shock when the invoice arrives. And many cards not in plastic slabs. What a concept. You can actually touch them. And my consigning experience was great too.

There is never any "insane sticker shock" for those that simply read the auction rules. For those clueless individuals that bid in an auction WITHOUT reading the rules, or for those not skilled enough to use a calculator... yes, I guess there is "sticker shock".

I know full well how fees work pal. Even when I buy a six figure card on occasion. Or better yet sell one. Fees had nothing to do with my comment. But you probably feel better now. That's cool Glad to provide a service. Last edited by Snapolit1; 06-29-2020 at 10:36 AM. |

It's you that probably feels better with having to boast about buying six figure cards - something that actually has NOTHING TO DO with the topic "pal". And this isn't about taking any of the spotlight away from Scott and his excellent auctions. |

How does one not know how fees work? It's essentially an inherent part of this hobby.

"Put, the coffee, down!"
I had fun staying up late, battling back and forth, on a card that ended at $143.

Brent, I hate to speak for someone else, but I think he was referring to the fact that my entire auction sold for less than some of the individual cards he buys on occasion.

Auction
Really enjoyed my 1`st time experience with Scott`s auction house. As busy as I`m sure he was yesterday, he took the EXTRA step in getting me registered and bid eligible late Sunday afternoon. Paid off nicely for me, picked up a nice Jack Warhop type 1 photo ironically while watching J Goodman starring in "Babe". Will for sure be monitoring the future offerings. well done sir !

Thank you for adding that Scott. And again, this wasn't to take anything away from your auctions, and if you feel it has, I sincerely apologize. I won't comment on the subject again.

Yeah, that was interesting to watch. You made up for it on the SGC 5 though!

New slogan
"The auction where I actually have winning bids"
Fun auction! I enjoyed having so many cards to bid on that fit my collection and I won 13 lots! (Pretty rare for me since my bids usually get rolled over in later bidding in most auctions.) Thanks for putting it together, Scott and your consignment partners. I may become one of them some day!

Thanks Scott, I did great, and my great grandfathers cards are in the hands of folks who will enjoy them more than me. Hopefully they'll last another 110 years. I highly recommend consigning with Scott. He drove to Milford PA just to meet me and pick up the cards. This is a totally unsolicited testimonial... My singles really did become home runs...
