I agree, if you live on the east coast these auction's end way too late, somebody needs to come up with some new creativity.
Thanks,
John

My preference for all of these auctions would be a closing time of 8pm eastern, with 1 hour of overtime (where you can only bid on lots you had bid on prior to 8pm eastern) and then lots close one by one when no bids are made after 15 minutes after overtime. Most of these auctions are open for bids for 14+ days prior to closing, you have plenty of time to get your bids in. I understand that bids can be connected and people have finite budgets, but thats what collecting is all about, picking your spots and time/place.

Anyway, I won 2 items last night, the T205 lot of 44 with a Mathewson (which was right at the top of where I priced it) and this beauty.



Piedmont 42s are tough, and this one is no exception. Got it right at the top of my price limit. Very happy to add this one.

Congrats to whomever won the Lou Gehrig 55 hocus focus.
I placed a high bid marker days ahead and it held up (at my max)
until 7pm that i know of and left it at that.
SUPRISED--only 1 bid afterwards it seems. Congrats.

I think it's totally understandable and acceptable for small auction houses that struggle to land a lot of quality consignments to stay open until the early morning hours. It probably makes consignors feel better and helps the auction house squeeze out a few more dollars. Great auction Al and team!

Great auction and great auction house. As a purchaser and a consignor, LOTG is top notch in all respects.
The top of my list every time I decide to consign.

Bill, while LOTG certainly isn't REA or Heritage sizewise, I certainly don't consider LOTG to be one of the "small auction houses that struggle to land a lot of quality consignments."

Being an old fart who lives in VA, I can't manage to stay awake until the LOTG auctions close. At the very least, I wish Al would change the overtime bidding that begins at 1 a.m. ET to have the lots that remain open close individually.

Was anyone here bidding on the Oscar Charleston?

Even the opening bid was far too rich for my blood. But, it's a very cool card.



I was the underbidder on the Aguilitas Charleston that popped up at REA (that was mentioned in the description for this one) when it was raw in a collection. If I had any idea it'd sell for what it sold for at REA, I would've bit the bullet and bid more.



Also, I'm kind of surprised there was no action on that 1879 contract. I would've thought 3k seemed like a solid value for an opening price.
