There are 50 sets in Fleer Updates. Topps Traded had 100.

I was there parts of both days. Saturday seemed to have more high end items than Sunday but there were a ton of items both days. I bought 4-5 lots for my collection but good deals were hard to come by when I was there. You are right about the auctioneer....she kept things on point and flowing as well as she could, a real pro. I'm sure they learned a lot this weekend and will improve the lot makeup in future weeks but they did a great job IMO.

I failed to mention the case of 1984 Fleer Update was opened. All 50 sets were there, fresh as the day they were made. A check of the sets revealed all the big money cards were there. Nothing pulled.

How was the centering? That is the big issue with 84 Fleer. Most are 60/40 - 65/35.

I don't know as I took it on Jennifer's word (the auctioneer) that the money cards were there.

Some of the Goudey's that were available at the auction are hitting the secondary market.
