So anyone get anything? Definitely liked the 3:15ish close time, actually got to sleep knowing what was what for once

My one win, Pete's T207 freak

[Bliggity]

I won a lone Piedmont 42 T205 (but for a good price). Got shut out on everything else. Was really hoping to take home the D303 Evers, but it went too strong.

I won the lot of Marhoefer Meats Indy racing cards. The lot is actually a mix of 1962 and '63 cards (the distinguishing feature is the shape and location of the driver portrait on each card). The cards all show stains/discolorations from being included in packs of hot dogs. All the cards present poor to fair, but the big pick-up in the lot is a 1962 A.J. Foyt Marhoefer card.

I have wanted a Foyt Marhoefer card for a while now. There has been a beat up, hot dog stained Foyt Marhoefer card on eBay for a while now at the museum price of $795. Even with the hot dog stains, I am happy to pick up a Foyt Marhoefer card for a little over $100; they just don't come available very often.

There are nicer, unstained Marhoefer cards in the hobby that were presumably given out as hand outs and not placed in product packages. But like I said, any Foyt Marhoefer card has been on my want list for a while now. Marhoefer cards in general rarely appear at auction, and the same cards sit on eBay forever at sky-high BINs. The Foyt card on eBay is priced about 10 times what it would sell for at auction in that condition

I won the M101-4 blank back Huggins. Surprised it went so cheap.
