Just a quick heads up for those that may be interersted in some of the illustrated autograph lots in this mini-auction; #7406 -- Quite obvious APs of Cooper/Conrad #7412 -- AP of deceased astro C. Williams #7526 -- Apparent NA forgery (my opinion) #7541 -- Another obvious AP; Dick Gordon #7574H -- An Irwin AP #8115/8115B -- Apparent Walker pre-prints #8117 -- Appears to be a Lounge AP |

Seems kind of unusual to have a virtually no-notice auction, but I'm sure they must know what they are doing ... I would have participated if I had known earlier.------------------ John Capobianco Camden DE |

It appeared to be all leftovers (unsold items) from the October auction. |

It looks like the few items that had bids, were placed before the auction, but it doesn't look like the auction took place because nothing sold. Victoria was in Florida this weekend, so I'm wondering if Aurora decided to postpone the sale till next week. |

No, the auction went as planned. It worked very smoothly on the ebay live auctions and I actually won an item. |

I looks like most items weren't sold, only a few if you check the "completed auctions" of Aurora.Too bad they didn't send out a reminder to the existing customers not any other announcement. Florian |

It looks like there were quite a few bargains that I am kicking myself over. |
