I just want to point out that "touched by many" is a no go. That's a big fire and a miss.

Even I don't like it, and I was the one who came up with that stinker.

I think that line was said by Jack Black in the movie School of Rock.

Thank you Scott for a great idea and the generous offer. Good luck to you on your auction. I've put in my bids and maybe a few more before its all over. Good luck to everybody!

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!

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.

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".

Wow. Thanks for picking a fight with me for absolutely no reason, as I was doing nothing more than complimenting a good board member.

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.

Lmfao. This is hilarious. He really showed you! It's nice to know we have board members educating people on how to use a calculator or factor in the juice.

The auction was fantastic, thanks again Scott. Looking forward to my SC OPs.

You apparently don't know how auction fees work if you have to complain about something so basic. And your comment had everything to do with fees, otherwise, why mention it???

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.

OK, movie references probably aren't the best way to go.
