    Bump. Friday, 5/10 is the last day of receiving. Any outgoing packages probably need to go out today to make it on time.

    PSA:

    Some submissions weren't initially processed into the correct auction after they were received by GC, no big deal as it was able to be corrected, but its important that were aware of them so that we can get with Ian and fix it. Ian is supposed to reach out to me in a bit regarding one of the submissions, so I ask that all of you who sent in coins can double check your portal to make sure the coins are NOT listed there.

    If they show in your portal as items you are selling, they are not correctly designated for the Baby Aspen Benefit. if you go to the bottom of GC's home page, youll see a hotlink for the auction, and thats where they should be listed. Please send me a message if theres any that need to be corrected so I can channel it to Ian.

    Gotta be a bit more aspirational, that goal is already far in the rear view mirror.

    I meant for the online gofundme to also get to 7500$. Would be great to see. I was not factoring in the auction over at GC.

    Very exciting to see some of the early bidding and of course, very hopeful for the best results for Baby Aspen. A nice little write up about the auction from the GC team as well (EDITED 5/29 TO ADD THE CORRECT DESCRIPTION):

    "GreatCollections is proud to present "The Baby Aspen Benefit Auction" in our auctions on Sunday, June 2, 2024. There are 49 PCGS and 31 NGC certified coins offered, with seven approved by CAC. (NOTE: there are now currently 86 auctions as of the writing of this post.)

    One of the highlights from the collection is the 2020-W $50 One-Ounce Gold American Eagle V75 Privy 1 of 1945 Struck First Strike PCGS Proof-70 DCAM (V75 Label) (With Original Government Packaging and Certificate of Authenticity), which has already attracted 16 bids and a current bid of $17,500.

    This is the Baby Aspen Benefit Auction. Baby Aspen was born at 25 weeks on May 22, 2023 and has been fighting for her life every single day. She is the niece of PCGS forum member @Relaxn. Another forum member, @DeplorableDan (who is not Deplorable) was alerted to the situation by Johnny010, a friend of @Relaxn, and together they coordinated with GreatCollections to arrange this benefit auction. All coins have been donated by friends of @relaxn and the full proceeds (including buyer's fees) will be donated to Baby Aspen's healthcare costs. She is currently going through chemo and has surgery booked for late May. Join us in wishing Baby Aspen the speediest of recoveries possible."

    Also I think you're going to have to change your handle to "DependableDan" now, @DeplorableDan. B)

    I just placed a few GENEROUS bids on some stuff I’ll give to my nephew if I win.

    REMEMBER, if you didn’t donate coins, you can still BID ‘EM UP, which helps just as well!

    This auction is such an awesome idea. I just placed a few bids, and will probably place some more.

    Thank you, Dan, for motivating us to chip in.

    I will be on my knees praying for this little warrior today. God Bless all of you. Never give up, never surrender!

    Having fun while switching things up and focusing on a next level PCGS slabbed 1950+ type set, while still looking for great examples for the 7070.

    Prayers for sure!

    What a precious little angel! Cisplatin has very nasty side effects that are poorly tolerated among adults, and she looks to be taking it like a champ. I hope all is well with her surgery and that she makes a speedy recovery.

    Hoping for the best with the surgery!

    Maybe if we get the word out to our family members they will reach that 7500$ goal. I am sending this to some of mine hopefully you guys get some more donations since they would probably not bid on coins.
