Good luck today!
Prospect and rookie autos end tonight at 10pm ET. We have not seen the forum crash in a few years now... however, this may be the product to do it. I am 95% sure we are ok - we may slow but I doubt we will crash. If the website/forum crashes, I will extend the deadline to Monday night. I think we will be ok because BO has upgraded the website considerably since 2014.

If you will be away and want to send a pm bid, please see the details at the end of this message.
Are you guys all as excited as I am? I haven't been as excited about a product since 2011 Bowman Draft (Mikie Mahtook!). Good luck today! Prospect and rookie autos end tonight at 10pm ET. We have not seen the forum crash in a few years now... however, this may be the product to do it. I am 95% sure we are ok - we may slow but I doubt we will crash. If the website/forum crashes, I will extend the deadline to Monday night. I think we will be ok because BO has upgraded the website considerably since 2014. I just want to post this just in case. Be very careful posting at the last seconds though. If the forum slows, your bid could be delayed and actually post after 10:01. Here is what is ending tonight (sunday night at 10pm ET):
Google Drive: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets...it?usp=sharing Sniping: Sniping is perfectly legal, but no bids on XX:01 or later will count - so be careful in case you lose your player. The server has slowed in the past - just depends on server load. The art of bidding to win: Let me tell you how I bid. First, I decide if the spot is a steal, an investment, or a must have. For a steal, I will assume there is another person who sees this steal too. With over 120 people bidding, somebody else has seen how low the spot is, right? So I will bid assuming another person is also trying to swoop in and get the steal. I will figure their bid into my planning and try to out smart them. My success rate is about 33% - but then it wouldn't be a steal at a higher cost anyway. For an investment I just run the numbers. How many cards can I grade? How many will be color or variations? Then I bid at where I think there is still meat on the bone. Generally the player and insert spots are the best bargains. Just watch out for the second bidder on the grassy knoll - you may not be the only bidders. For a must have (like a pc player), I assume that there are two or three other people who will be aggressively bidding on the same player. I assume they will both bid wisely. I then bid assuming that they will both get 2 snipes in before the clock runs out. I overbid on these spots sometimes and sometimes I am right and just barely eke out the winning bid. My success is over 90% on these bids. PM bids: Not going to be around at 10pm EDT? Send a pm bid anytime before 9pm.You MUST title the message: PM BIDS 1 bid per line please. May only send 1 pm bid per deadline - so please include all spots. I will place the bids as close as possible. am NOT responsible if the server crashes and the PM bids do not show in time. Should be ok, but just in case.

I could absolutely make more money running 2 casers, but I just love the big breaks. Current website pricing is $64k, but I didn't pay that on the first 50. I might not be able to run a second 50 caser if we don't get somewhere close to that though (which is fine.)

 I wasn't doubting this auction. I think things will explode tomorrow night! As you mentioned, this is unlike any pre-sale auctions we've ever seen. YEE HAW!
