This was the auction that was going to stop taking new bids at 4:00 pm and CUT OFF the extended bidding some time after 11:00 pm. |

And YES, I know that I have 20+ cards for sale in the auction and might lose a little money by closing the auction... |

Personally, I think the houses should just institute a srop dead time, say midnight PST. Everyone should be home by that time and no one can complain that they didn't get a chance to hold out their bid until the last minute. |

I'm on the left coast, but also disappointed, Hal. I had hoped from Robert's auction rules and follow-up postings the auction would end around 11:00 PM PST at the absolute latest (and I was hoping for closer to 10:00). If you factor in the original 1:00 PM PST closing time for initial bids, the REA auction has had a whopping 10 hours of extended time and still going. That's actually way more than a typical Mastro or Lelands auction and basically asking bidders to stay on guard for an entire day. Not to mention the fact that despite promoting the opposite, it looks like this auction has turned into another battle of attrition over who can stay up the latest. |

This is why I actually favor Hunt's format. You reserve a phone line and wait for your calls. (I've bid on items with Hunt's at a wedding reception and a college basketball game via cell phone, so you don't have to be chained to the computer all day and/or night.) Everybody else interested in that particular lot is either in attendance or also on a phone line. Everybody bids against eachother and in a relatively brief amount of time, everyone has to lay out their "max" bid. And when the call is over you know you've either won or lost and item and how much it went for. |

The auction ended at 2:53 AM. We had intended to end a couple hours earlier but the system slowness we experienced cost bidders time, throwing the schedule off a couple of hours. We didn't want to close the auction when bids were flying in late, and the reason they were still flying in so late was due to the slowness of the system earlier. We made the best of the situation, making sure everyone that wanted to bid could get their bids in. This meant an extra couple of hours. We appreciate your understanding and thank you for your support! |

Tough loss for me (actually "us", with 3 of us pooling our efforts). I watched the Gypsy Queens closely while being the high bid for hours. Then at 2:50 am I received the Outbid notice. I didn't open and react to it within 3 minutes and the auction was shut down. I'm not angry, maybe we just weren't meant to win the cards but I'd love a chance to pick up the one card I was interested in. |

Auction worked out great for me. I bid on one lot-the autographed Duffy Mayo-placed an up to bid and went to sleep at 1 AM. Woke up this morning and found out that I won it for alot less than my limit. |

I finished 2nd on the AWH, I couldn't stay up any longer. I am sure Leon got it, I always seem to be his runner-up. Not a bad title to have, Leon's runner-up, I think I am proud of that accomplishment. |

Wasn't me on the AWH. It's someone we know and love though. I ended up getting the Kalamazoo Bat team card with Harry Wright and the Kalamazoo Bat carton.....both for several increments below my max bids.....regards |

Adam--It's a neat card. However, the description was a little off. I have an Old Judge autographed by Connie Mack which is obviously an older card taht is autographed. |

You asked.....it sold for $4700 on ebay when I put it on there.....and I had paid $6100 for it. What people don't realize sometimes is that there are losses as well as gains...so if I buy something for 3k and ask 5k-6k for it it's really just making up for other losses It's a great card and you will be happy with it. I sold it to finance my Lone Jack Comisky, otherwise he would still be in my collection....take care |

I was the under bidder on that card and just did not have the guts to hit it again. Ran it up from 7500 with someone else. That was not the only lot that I lost out on. Very aggressive prices for the most part. Way to go Rob. |

It must have been 3-4 years ago, so whatever this finally sold for wouldn't be as hot as some caramels in relative price increases..if ya know what I mean...this might have gone up about 2x but other issues have even more staggering growth.....I didn't want to spend all of my money on the TT Johnson when I know if I wait there might be another of them, albeit maybe not Johnson. I have seen 3-4 Texas Tommy - Johnson Type II's sold in the last few years though....and you could say that about the Kalamazoo too but I thought this was a special card. I have personally barely ever seen a card with that kind of registration. I hope it looks as good in person....and that's not to be taken any other way than light hearted but the clarity is amazing (am I gushing )....regards |

quick question about the REA "extended bid time" thing, since i'm not real knowledgable about the auction system: i was under the impression that acutions got extended for 15 minutes, only if the bid increased? and they closed after 15 minutes of inactivity. is this correct? because lot #155 sat at $1800 from about 7 pm to 3 am. |

Ben: That was a great pick-up on the Pirates pocket mirror. I bid on it early on and it was one of about 50 items I was tracking over the course of the auction. Great looking piece and your high-bid was a good price. |

Leon - I totally agree with you about the clarity of the image. That is mormally the number one criteria in my mind when it comes to these types of cards. That's why I am so happy that I ended up winning the Boston team card. I didn't really think I had a chance because I thought it would go for $8k to $10k, but needless to say I am very happy! |
