Could you please post a copy of the e-mail you received from Mears. I have not received any e-mail from them.

Thanks,

The December 2010 MEARS Auction has been an incredible success with organizational highs for:

New Registered Bidder
Bidders Participating
Consigners
Lots
Bids Placed
Prices Realized

We thank all that have participated in one form or another. As the old saying goes, "All Good Things Must Come to an End." As it stands now, there have been bids placed within a 15 minute window at least once for every period of 15 minutes since our close last night. This has kept the auction live, and while we appreciate the interest, we also realize that this does not sit well across the board with bidders.

With all of this in mind, the December MEARS Auction will end NO LATER THAN 8:00 PM EST tonight. Please know this does not mean the auction has to run that late. If a period of 15 minutes with no bidding activity on any lot occurs before 8:00 PM EST, the auction will close at that time.

Once again, we thank all of you for making this auction our most successful event to date and we look forward to supporting your collecting interests in 2011.

Troy R. Kinunen
President, MEARS Auctions

Thanks Jay...Happy New Year.

I never got the e-mail.....just another thing to be annoyed at Mears about.

I guess the auction has ended. I thought this was really a cool photo...

@Leon- Love that photo, if you were the winner congrats.

Well, I won the 8 lots that I wanted to win. As Mr. Bergin put so eloquently above, the 2 lots that I was outbid on were the most expensive, so I wasn't really that upset.

Happy New Year to All and thanks to the folks who supported my in my time of angst.

Jeff,

Congrats on things working out for you -- can you tell us what you won?

Leon that's a great photo, I remember seeing it at the National, and was struck by how nice it looked.

I'm embarrassed to say that I only won two small non-sports pins in this MEARS auction -- I bought too much in the recent Hunt and Mastro Collection auctions.

Yes I got it and approximately 26 other lots....very happy to have participated. I thought this was interesting too, as it says it's a photo and not the normal supplement. The other similar ones say they were supplements so I am assuming this is not a regular supplement......

Love the photo Leon. Congrats!

Did you ever bid on something and then immediately wish that somebody would outbid you on it?

This auction is the best case scenario for that.


I'm still hanging on to a few lots and threw in a few minor bids this morning. Weirdest auction ever.
