Ebay Auction About to End!

Good news! The bidding is heating up on the Roger Staubach Monday Night Football Computerized Game. It is now over $15 with a little over four hours to go. There have been several bids today so I'm optimistic that I will do well. You can watch the auction real time by going to the Ebay search box at the bottom of my blog and type in item#260316712048. I will give you full details in tomorrow's post.
My other auction on the 1923 "Mill on the Floss" and the April 16, 1926 History IV homework assignment, has still seen no action. As mentioned yesterday if the book and manuscript doesn't sell I will be re listing it. More news on the two Red Grange 1926 Shotwell Candy promotional pieces. It was revealed to me on Leon Luckey's vintage football forum, that these pieces were distributed in candy bars manufactured by Shotwell in 1926. They are rare and it is estimated that each piece is worth between $100-$200. I have decided to accept Leon's offer to put these pieces in his Feb. vintage card auction. You can read the responses to Leon's post about the pieces on his forum by going to http://www.network54.com/Forum/579393/ and follow the posts. It will be exciting to see how the auction goes in Feb. I will keep you posted on this type of auction process as it unfolds.
I mentioned yesterday that I was planning go to an auction, but frankly it was 23* last evening which was a near record low here in the Carolinas. I decided to sit by the fire instead, but did manage to take in a couple of flea markets this morning and found a couple of interesting pieces, but decided to do some investigating and will go back later and see if they are still there and possibly make an offer. I think it is always important to have a feel for what you are bidding on. I felt good about both of my purchases last week although I did not have specifics, but for $1 and $2 I felt comfortable.
Tomorrow we head back to our former home in Ohio to visit with family for the holiday and take in a couple of business meetings. I will try to keep you posted on my journey. There are a couple of places up there that I like to visit, and can usually find good bargains. Well I see the Staubach game is up to $15.16 with a little over three hours to go. I will sign off and keep an eye my auction.
