Closing Tonight - Love of the Game Set Builder's Auction

[Al C.risafulli]

Hi All:

Just a quick reminder that tonight's Set Builder's auction closes at 9PM Eastern.

Since this is a smaller auction, I do not anticipate it to run late, but if it does, I will not let it run much past 2AM.

There are still quite a few deals to be had in this one, notably in the autograph section. There are a decent amount of tougher signatures from non-HOFers, each sold individually, with quite a few nice cut signatures.

One of my favorite items is on the hockey side - a collection of memorabilia related to the 1980 NHL All-Star game, which was Wayne Gretzky's first and Gordie Howe's last game. The collection includes a commemorative plate given out at the dinner, a ticket stub and program from the game, and a dinner menu signed by many of the players (including Howe). This comes from the collection of Dennis Clotworthy, a former employee from the ticket office who was also a Detroit Tigers batboy in the 1970s (and author of the book Al Kaline's Last Batboy). It's a neat collection, still flying under the radar.

The auction also has a host of cards from the E90-1, T205, 1913 National Game and 1934-36 Diamond Stars sets, still at affordable prices. It's a great time to start a set!

If you've got any questions, I can be reached via phone or email.

If you're bidding, good luck!

Hi All:

Just an FYI if you're logged into 54 that if the auction does not close on its own in the next 15 minutes, I will be closing it manually. The fair warning email is about to be sent, but the auction will be closed shortly. If you're planning on getting in any last-minute bids, now would be a good time.

Thank you for participating in the auction, as usual. Invoices will be emailed on Monday. Stay tuned for the January catalog auction - I think you're going to like it!

Great auction Al - there were some seriously good deals last night. Only two of my low ball bids stuck, but I'm psyched to pick up another old notebook cover. Looking forward to LOTG monster auction early next year.

Thanks Al. Check is in the mail. I didn't see the PayPal option. Maybe because I'm on a Mac? or, I just didn't look long enough.
