Do the bidders from previous auctions get a comp copy like Swann, Mastro, etc. does? :)

Does the montage of autographs come a small black autograph book?

It would be nice to be able to find out if you won anything or not. I could not log into the live auction site.

I tried that too, but I thought it was me. It finally started working for me when the auction was at lot 72.

I'm just surprised that you can't look up today's closed auctions.

How about putting up a list of items that online bidders were shown to have won items that were later
"repossessed" and summarily awarded to floor bidders with no recompense?


[color:#FF0000]No more P & P for me...period. Online bidding software evidently buggier than Osama bin Laden's beard.[/color]
It's not about the magic; it's about the daily box office gross.
