pot kettle black to close out Dimaggio

[gorshar]

Ooh, ooh, I'm first, I'm first!!!

Greg Maddux, as seen watching my coaching staff...

I opened with 5.0 with no expectation of getting him

carr20 had lower expectations, he passed.

Fairly like-minded individuals bidding to hear the sound of their own bid:

potkettleblack 5.61
litangel 6
joekendall 6.25
DOHowser 7.12
hackra 7.6
ironwill1 7.77

Reasonable attempts to win that fell short:
DHowser 8.56
danielz 9.5

Just missing the 10% cut-off:
miduar 10.96

[b:b825229365]And the winner:
jet40 12.25[/b:b825229365]

Is that a picture of Greg Maddux, or me realizing that it is time to start another owner's by owner's spreadsheet?

[b:3abc5922da]It looks like jet40 is within 10% of gorshar's top bid. I believe we have our first open auction!!![/b:3abc5922da]
