I will be watching but not bidding. Only a handful of internet bids so far. I don't want to speak for Skip, but once you add the buyer's premium to the opening bid, some of the chips are already past the point where I can reasonably justify bidding. The 4 Queens $5 and The Landmark $5 are high on my want list, but at $1500 and $835 for each respectively, they are already, at opening bid, over the price that I have seen them sold for.
When the opening amount is that high, I don't even give myself a chance to get excited about possibly acquiring them.
I am very curious to see if they sell, in the current economic enviorment, are there still collectors left out there who will bid no matter what?
