23,500 6 page color brochures mailed today. Less than a month away and I've already started my tossing & turning & poor sleep. Rex, if you are out there, I feel your pain buddy. Take a deep breath, eat a big slice of pie, and just know that some stuff will go high and some will go low, but at the end of it all you will be rewarded with a big fat check! Good Luck....Seth

HOLY COW!!! I got the flyer for this event today and I am TOTALLY awstruck. I can't believe the quality pieces that are in the auction. A few of the highlight that I have seen: Red Crown Marquee Sign?? Gilmore Sign Mustang Sign Red Hat 15" Globe Texas Rose Globe Tiwoser Polly and Husky Cans
Wait a moment scratch everything I said above. There are no good signs, cans or globes at this auction. Everyone should go golfing instead this day or maybe get you taxes done or??
OK really who wants to stand in for me in Disney world while I bid online from the house?

Me & my bro went and started rounding up the globe collection we are selling on the 18th, here's some pics (I didn't have the guts to put the really high value ones out in this group, you never know what kind of natural disaster is going to roll through Oklahoma!!)......

Got this sign out of Kansas just last weekend, decided to throw it in the auction also, though it didn't make the brochure. This is the really good size one, about 5' total width. The sign was covered in mildew & acid rain streaks. Me & Zach pulled all the neon and and buffed the heck out of it, re-wired it and put the neon back on....

Hey Seth - I was woundering if I would be able to bring down all the guys stuff out of the Red Crown Station for auctioning? NOS mobil receipt books, Mobil ATF cans, Texaco 15oz detergent cans, antique tire machine and tools, old 50-60's cash register, small RC Cola Sign?
If so - what are the details and commisions?
