Huggins and Scott Auctions - Open For Bidding

Having a little buyers remorse this morning after winning the 1927 WS program. It's the largest purchase I've made on my collection to date, but will be well worth it when I place it next to my cards of the 1927 Murderers Row.

To me that's probably the holy grail of programs. Generally you can't go wrong with something like that - if you paid too much, it will catch up soon enough.

I wanted the live-action 1890's Baltimore cabinet, and was prepared to bid...at 7:02, which was 2 minutes late. I saw '1:58 remaining' and thought I was safe for that amount of time. A message that gives the amount of time for initial bids would be far more effective, but that's not picking on this particular auction house - this is the way almost all of them handle it.

Very happy with my single win of the Sun Pictures Ruth negative. Now just waiting for the invoice so that I can get my grubby hands on it sooner!

I completely understand that the information is there. The message was received correctly (by me) several times, early in the day when you send out your 'final day of bidding' and '5 hours left to place initial bids' messages, but as I'm generally fairly busy and not fixated on any particular auction, when it comes right down to it, as the day progresses I forget those email deadline times and what I end up noticing as bid time approaches, is that message that says '3 hours left' that really means, '1 hour left', so I screw off for a little over an hour - given that it's feeding time at my home, and I'm the cook..... I went in 2 minutes late to begin bidding.

I simply made a suggestion, but I do understand that most people are getting the message and processing it at the appropriate time, as your high bids would indicate. It just doesn't work well for me personally - if it's working for most people, then please ignore me.

Won my fist T206 Lenox. Not a good looking front, but the back is intact. Pretty excited.

Nice pick up Brendan! I was the under bidder and was debating another bid right through the very end. I just couldn't pull the trigger. Tough back and you got it for a really decent price.

Thanks Steve. One more bid and it was yours. Haha. But yes, I think I got it for a decent price.

I actually discovered that card in a pile of about 55-60 T206 cards (the rest were Piedmont backs). I thought it would be a neat little addition to our catalog and I pulled it....fully aware that is would grade a SGC 10. Can't go wrong with a Lenox in your catalog, right?
