[SIZE=4][COLOR=#ff0000][B]Welcome to Blowout's 15 Jumbo Case 2016 Bowman Draft Baseball player auction.[/B][/COLOR][/SIZE]

[B]What is a player auction?[/B]

Well, a player auction is very similar to a player draft break - except you bid on the spots that you want similar to any auction online. The few differences are: 1. forum posts are used to bid and 2. the bidding deadline is usually not set until the auction has reached (or nearly reached) the break even point.

We understand that player auctions are not for everyone - so please feel free not to join.

[COLOR=#008000][B]For your bids to count, you MUST include the card # and name where applicable. I might not allow a bid without these.[/B][/COLOR]

Bids are in $2.00 minimum increments until the spot reaches $20.00 and then $5.00 minimum increments after $20.00. Once a spot reaches [B]$200[/B], bid increments become $10. Please, whole dollar bids only (no $5.01 bids). Please no +5 bids. (Because someone could bid $100 at the same time and therefore your bid becomes +105?) You can bid more than $2/$5/$10, but that is the minimum.

Any bid made with change ($5.86, $100.99, etc) will be rounded up to the next whole dollar. Please only make whole dollar bids.

15 jumbo cases

15 jumbo cases x $970.00 = $14,550.00

[B]Remember there are other costs besides just the product.[/B]

There is a minimum bid set for each spot already. Bids are in $2.00, $5.00, or $10.00 minimum increments. [B]You may certainly bid more than the minimum.[/B]

[B]Sniping[/B] - If you wait until the last minute, you may miss out. Fair warning.

[B]Bidding[/B] - Please understand that you must include the card # where applicable. Bids without the card # may not count. Please do not edit your post though.
