Congratulations on a what appears to be a successful auction, particularly in this soft market.

Stats: 371 lots offered, less 2 lots withdrawn = 369 lots for sale.
11 lots (= 3%) unsold, the remaining 358 lots (97%) sold. Very good batting average!

Includes 3 lots that sold for over $1000; specifically $1600 and $2200 for 2 different $1 Normandie (Gardena) chips, plus $2000 for a Bally's LV $20 "R-10" chip.

For Doug or any other attendee to the live auction: Were the prices for the 2 Normandie $1 chips expected, or was it a case of 2 enthusiastic bidders going at each other? Or alternatively, multiple bidders which would give some depth to these prices? (If only 2 head-to-head bidders at these levels, then another example might not achieve these price levels again.)

Just curious. I don't have one, nor have I even seen them before. Congratulations to the high bidders.
