Are you sure? At a glance it looks like the set price exceeded the cumulative hammer for the individual cards...

[pitchernut]

unless I'm reading the results wrong... looks like the group lost out... but it wouldn't be the first time I was wrong... no word from the auction house either way up to this point... I can only hope

I was an underbidder for the Fan Craze Waddell, it looks like the amount on the individual cards overtook the set.

[pitchernut]

yeah, I was one of the underbidders on the Fred Glade card, it's that darn self imposed $100 max per card deal...

I didn't do the math - just gave it a quick glance, so congrats!

I won the complete Fan Craze Boston team (a number of lots).

In the process, I picked up the group of 12 lot, some of which (non-Boston) I'll be looking to move when I get them.

As an aside, this is the longest marathon I've ever been involved in. The auction went all night long and into the next morning. It closed at around 7:30AM EST...somebody actually tried to outbid me on the Jimmy Collins at around 7AM EST (after I had been in the lead on the card with no competition for probably 10 hours)...I am tired today.

Cheers,
Blair

Nice job Blair! The whole subset? Cool. I was in the running on the Young and Collins and 12 card lot for a bit. And no, it was not me that bid you up at 7am on the Collins . I was still cutting Z's at 7am EST. This was a nice auction but were getting to an absurd point on the auction ending times.

Hi Michael,

Thanks! Yes - I figure that you and I will probably compete on some lots along the way...given our common interests .

I did want to get all 9 Boston cards since they were all available at once. Can't beat one-stop shopping . That desire likely cost me a little since some went a bit high...but then again, others went a bit low (like the Cy, I feel).

All the best,
Blair

Just received my invoice and spoke to Jesse at Heroes.

I was very pleased to hear that they have decided to give free insured shipping as a show of appreciation to the bidders who supported their first auction.

Very classy indeed!

Blair- Is this right? So those of us who already mailed our money orders can be expecting a refund of shipping costs?

That is a very cool thing to do, though now I don't feel quite as special.
