After our last auction, many people had expressed the opinion that the auctions have too many items and are too long. Our new auction is now online and it is much smaller then in the past. If this goes well, we will do an auction about every 8 weeks in this smaller scale. |

Chuck, I think this is a great format! Having fewer items with more frequent auctions sounds like a perfect combination. |

Like this format better, Chuck. Not only for day of auction a lot less, but can budget better over a few auctions, instead of one large one. |

With all of the cancellations across the country, I wanted to update everyone that the American Space Museum auction will go as planned. As far as I know right now the museum will be open for in person bidding if anyone wants to attend. |

Did the lots that say "Passed" not hit a hidden minimum bid? Like the purported pre-flight disc? |

By the way, that sixth unaccounted for preflight disc (as described in the lot narrative) is retained on this end. |

Any item passed in the auction did not meet reserve. We only take reserves on expensive items. As the Apollo 11 Lunar Disc only hit $4,500, it did not sell as there was a $9,000 reserve. |

I wanted to give the American Space Museum and Space Walk of Fame a job well done. Their charity auction was this past Saturday, received my Invoice on Tuesday and received my tracking number today, so will receive my items this Friday or Saturday. This work is mainly done by volunteers and with the COVID-19 situation they are persevering and making sure we all receive our new treasures. Thanks to all! |

Received my item today, and am very pleased with both the item and the speed with which the order was processed and mailed. Very glad to have been able to contribute to the museum, and looking forward to future auctions. |
