Subject: CARDS:  Auction of Older Stars and Commons UPDATE VI
Date: Mon, 11 Jan 93 18:25:04 PST
Organization: The Portal System (TM)
Distribution: world

Auction #1:  Stars and commons from 1910-1979 mostly in bad shape.
 
UPDATE:  January 11, 1993
 
I think that activity has finally died down a bit, and my mail volume is fairly
reasonable now.  :)
 
Reminder:  Auction ends this Thursday.
 
Please note:  I have lowered the two Mickey Mantle lots' (#28 and #39) minimum
bids to $10 each.
 
There were several sold lots with today's update.  If the winner wants his or
her lots now, please E-Mail me, or else he or she can wait until Thursday.
 
I have included all of the high bids and the first name of the high bidder.  I
am paying postage for all of the lots, and I am offering a money back guarantee
on everything, too.

         ----------------------------------------------------------
 
Here is the grading scale that I used:
 
Near Mint:  Very well centred and very sharp corners
 
Excellent-Mint:  Corners have very slight wear, but fine otherwise fine.
 
Very Good-Excellent:  Corner wear.  May be off centre.  No creases.
 
Very Good:  A minor crease that doesn't break the surface or minor back
            damage.
 
Good-Very Good:  Has one or more minor creases and corner wear.
 
Fair:  Has a major crease or scuffing.  Corners are no longer the issue.
 
Poor:  Really bad.  Has writing, tears, major back damage, or the like.
