After the meeting is the auction. The proceeds from some items go to the Midwest Club to help with the costs of putting on this shindig. Anything else sold is fee-free for the consignor, which is a pretty good deal! Everyone mills about, trying to get e good preview of the treasures that are up for bid.
Jeff and Larry inspecting a jar closely. Friends at the preview turn into competitors once the bidding starts. But friends again when it is all said and done.
A showcase full of lightning lids that Don Burkett put in the auction.
Phil Smith and Dave Rittenhouse help Don show off his lids.
Another BIG box of jar lids -- this one's coming home with me. Yay!
Our auctioneering team, Greg Spurgeon, and Phil Smith (Dave's in the back spotting bidders.)
Another fun auction. Now back to room hopping.
