Hey Jimi, I here where your coming from on that.

If I were to sell those 2 cards, I would list them in separate threads IF I wasn't selling anything else. I would only have 2 threads, those are pretty iconic cards, Id consider both high value and would want to make it as easy as possible for people to view/interpret and 2 threads would suit that better IMO. Now listing multiple 54's or 55's in separate threads would yank my chain a bit though.

Thanks for all your hard work Brian!

Daryl - No worries man. Actually, I wasn't aiming that comment at any particular person. I've seen several variations of that question - "Is that the right price....", "Is that a mistake...." and so on.

Good point, I didn't think of that. I guess if I just had those two cards, I personally would list them in the same thread and have the title reflect that. It was just an example of the type of stuff I see in the BST.

As a frequent lister in the Auction BST, I find everyone pretty much plays by the rules & it seems to run pretty smoothly.

I have 1 suggestion regarding Rule 2. Since most Auctions are only 1-4 days long, why not allow only 2 bumps per listing--use them when you please, but only 2 bumps per!

That's about what everyone uses anyhow--just make it official!

How does that sound?

That is a great suggestion for the Auction section Fred. I second it.
