Those two rednecks w/the Ty Cobb checks didn't deserve to have the reserve hit. Why did heritage start the bidding at $50G (the reserve was $90,000.00)? What was that about????
Plus, it looked to me from the camera work that the auctioneers somehow missed a cut bid from the floor before closing the Ty Cobb checkbook lot. Since auctioneers NEVER miss that I presume the producer did some excessive cutting-and-pasting of his own.
No coins. To me, the most interesting item was the autographed copy of the Warren Commission report. Not only did the Commission sign it, but so did a bunch of their otherwise-unnamed staff! I guessed it would go for $17K and it hammered at $16K.

The note was interesting. Did anyone else notice that the close-up of the note in the PCGS holder lacked the PCGS logo but that the logo was visible on the holder on stage?

Edited to say- not a very compelling account of collecting or the auction process. Just to say something positive, the Shelby was very nice and most of the selected items were interesting.
