Congrats to Paul Von Schlichten of Albany, Georgia for winning the Gavel Chat Honus Wagner contest. The T206 Wagner sold for $160,000 in Mastro’s Live auction, which took place Saturday night at the House of Blues. Paul’s guess of $165,000 was, by far, the closest to the final realized price and for that he is the lucky winner of the 2007 Topps Baseball factory set.

Thanks to all of you who entered.


Well, after a long weekend I am back in the Iola offices. I have been chatting on the gameusedforum.com message board about a blog I wrote about authenticators.
CHECK OUT THE CONVERSATION HERE

Other than that, I have been following up with people I met at the show. I didn’t buy a thing, but I met so many new people and made some good contacts.
Show traffic seemed to be down a bit, but I heard many good things from dealers.

You will want to make sure you check out the next issue of SCD, with tons of coverage from the convention.
