Do you think the SuperBowl timing will effect the prices of the Naftzger Coins?

I was just putting 2-and-2 together and noticed that the Naftzger Collection will be going off just before the SuperBowl starts.
I understand that a lot of people are football fans, and with the Highlight Football event of the year corresponding with the Highlight Mid-Date Large Cent Collection of a Lifetime, do you think bidders will be slightly side-tracked?
(I can almost see it now...Floor Bidders in their tail-gate football jersey's, holding a beer in one hand and a bidding number in the other. Once the sale ends, bidders head back to the party
)
I know that during the FUN Platinum Night sale there was another football game corresponding at the same time as the auction, and there were a handful of people watching the game right outside the room where the bidding was taking place. Now, I'm not saying that prices were necessarily soft during Platinum Night because of the football game, but people do get complacent!
Of course, any bidder really wanting the coins in the Naftzger Collection should be paying attention to the coins over football, but that logic would only make sense in an ideal world.
BTW - Go Cards and I can't wait to see the prices realized

the chance of a lifetime to get in on that sale. IMHO.

I collect all 20th century series except gold including those series that ended there.

Nope, healthy and as excited as ever
I've got a couple of bids in, but expect them to be trumped quite a bit.
Thanks for sharing the info...
I'm done watching the auction because the SuperBowl's about to start, but I plan on revisiting to check on the second-half final prices.
*The auction took place right smack in the middle of the Super Bowl.
*The Goldberg internet site had intermittent trouble and really is not easy to use.
*The economy did play a small role.
*The past few auctions of major copper were crazy. Many bidders simply felt they had no chance and elected not even to try.
*Lack of accurate price guides for collectors to use.
*Collectors prefer popularity vs rarity because of a lack of education. Plus, these coins being copper adds additional fears to some people.
