T210 CHARITY Auction in memory of Joe Palaez: Goostree, Midkiff, Sisson, Tesreau

[Kawika]

Four separate auctions. Indicate card with your bid.
Starting price is approximately 75% of vcp.com.
Five dollar bid increments please.

Auction ends Wednesday Thursday, June 24 9pm Eastern time (9:01 timestamp is too late)
Insured First Class Mail in bombproof package will be an additional $5. Payment by check preferred - mailed out immediately if I know you. I'll split the 3% Paypal fee if you'd rather pay that way - I don't play the no-fees "gift" game.

Sorry, kids. I screwed up the closing day. Intended to make it a seven day auction so correct closing day is Thursday.

Some hot cards here, boys and girls. Have fun and good luck.

Bidding on these four cards is temporarily suspended until an issue that has come up has been clarified. I hope to have things straightened out ASAP, perhaps early Tuesday, along with an explanation. Apologies and thanks for abiding.

Joe Palaez's niece shotgunned a funeral notice recently to numerous collectors, myself included, which referenced Joe's wish for donations to be made in his memory to Lawrenceville School in Lawrenceville, New Jersey. I thought that it would be a fitting honor to Joe if the proceeds from the sale of the four T210s, a set he held in loving regard, be donated as he specified. Because this brainstorm didn't strike until after the auctions began and there were bids already I felt uncomfortable changing the auctions' nature. I contacted Leon and the four fellows who had bid requesting their assent and each replied in a generous spirit. Thank you, guys.
Therefore the auctions are OPEN once again with the same exact terms, closing time etc as already stated in the first post with the exception that all proceeds, once received by me, will be donated in memory of Joseph Modesto Palaez to Lawrenceville school.

Great idea, David (even Holden Caulfield would be impressed).

Being an ol' Hun School for Princeton grad, I passed L'ville everyday with jealousy.


Goosetree -- $100

Please note that these auctions end on Thursday at 9pm Eastern time. My original post gave the right date but the wrong day.

Bumping this up, good cause

4. T210-3 Jeff Tesreau SGC40 $140

[Kawika]

Are you a flipper or a collector? Either way, get your bids down on these T210s by 9:00 pm Eastern (6 Pacific, 3 Hawaii). Let's make a nice showing for Joe.

Mr. Kawika

[Orions father]

I will go $50 on the Midkiff. Oops. Lets try $65 on the Sisson.

[t210scouts]

I'll bump Sisson to $75.

Winners are as follows:
Goostree = William TT40391 $105
Midkiff = Max von Weder $75
Sisson = Kevin T210scouts $75
Tesreau = Scott Mt Joy $140
That adds up to $395 and I am going to kick in an extra $105 to make it an even $500 donation to Joe's charity from his baseball buddies. I will send each of you an email shortly with final payment instructions. Thanks to all the bidders.

[Kawika]

All cards have been mailed out; all payments (save one) have been received. A donation in the amount of $500 from "Joe's Net54 Baseball Buddies" has been sent to Lawrenceville School in memory of Joseph Modesto Palaez. Thanks, guys, for making this happen.
