Re: Stanton Sale - A few observations

Does anyone remember what the Grand roller organ cobs went for. I forgot all about the auction and by the time I remembered it was too late to register.

Thank you David. I only have 2 cobs with mine so far. They are just so expensive and hard to find.drboruff wrote:The lot of 9 grand roller cobs sold for $1100.

Steve Stanton is a real pro and the pace of the auction was astounding, given the complications. He told me later that it went at 100 lots per hour, or almost two per minute. Wow!
I won’t know until my stuff arrives next week if there are any turkeys, but I’m sure there will be few, if any, unpleasant surprises.

I don’t think any decision has been made regarding continuation of the on-line format. Personally I hope he doesn’t do it, but times they are a-changing, for sure.JerryVan wrote:Raphael,Raphael wrote:I did not attend out of health safety considerations.

In your conversation with Steve, did he mention whether or not the on-line format may be here to stay, even after Covid? Obviously, you may not be at liberty to say, which would be understandable.
