These type of places are savvy, I have seen ebay auctions listed to announce the house contact. This happens with Pre-War item from time to time.

He may miss out on Hype bidders, but under this format he will get paid and the bidders will be
pre-qualified and when it sells the money will almost be automatic.
Hope Robin Williams is not busy in July so he can bid on the card. Hell even Ken Oberman will be there. :lol:

I'm really happy to hear that the aucton's moving to a venue meant to support these types of cards.
My favorite quote: "When bids for the Strasburg card -- which is numbered 1 of 1 and autographed -- topped $500,000, card collectors became skeptical." I think people became skeptical at about a tenth of this amount

I bet the fees are lower in an auction house, compared to eBay, for this sale.
And just knowing that PayPal won't see 2.9% of this transaction makes me smile.

Count me as the guilty party in getting this consigned to a "real auction". I was there for the WTOP interview and more are being set up. With pre-registered bidders, cash advances, professional writing/photography, national advertising, 100% insurance throughout the entire process and rates lower than weekly internet auctions....this is a natural choice. Our auction house is also not only known for vintage, but for high quality modern material as well. Hopefully those who pull similar cards in the future will look to established auction houses, where our prices realized are on par (or better) than the typical, weekly internet auctions. Most importantly, over our last 5-6 auctions which have totalled $10 million+, 99.8% of our auctions are paid for.

It is the same as comparing a White Lamborghini to a Red Lamborghini is it not?
Not really when the card they show is not autographed, not numbered and sells for $20 and they compair to a car Autographed numbered 1/1 and selling for $500K +

The fees must be practically nothing - the publicity this generates should bring a lot more business to that auction house over time.
I know it it were my card, I'd take the top several card auction houses in the country and pit them against each other to find the best deal I could make knowing this would be a prestigous card for any auction house to have.
I can't wait to see what the card legitimally brings in.

Ah, I thought you said base auto.
Then the only difference is that the Red Lambo has 1/1 on the seats and the White doesn't.
