As a reminder, these telephone and mail-in bids will be the opening bids for each lot when the “live” auction takes place on December 15th, 2002 in Las Vegas. Auction catalogues are available in color and in black and white. If you wish to purchase a catalogue, send $12.50 for a black and white catalogue, or $35.00 for a color catalogue to:

Douglas Saito

San Diego, CA 92103

There are currently lots with bid minimums as low as $5. So, if you find that you’re missing a small crown or two from Reno, then I highly recommend that you order a catalog and get in on the bidding. If you’re missing any large crowns, you should spring for the incredible color catalog!

I cannot be responsible for any transcription errors in the above bid amounts or numbers. If you have questions regarding any lot, please address them directly to Mr. Saito.
