I updated my Photobucket with almost 700 pictures of the auction over four days.

This sign went for $30,000.

This went for $7,500

Funny story about the Playboy. The announcer mentioned that they found that magazine, buried in a stack of paper in the back of the AA bus/Paddy Wagon.

I really wanted these, but not at $1,200.

Thought this was cool, was on one of the Model A coupes.

The auction was an experience. I got to see a lot of very cool things that I have never seen before, even after wandering Hershey four times. Saw and met a lot of great people, heard some great stories as well.

I only bought a pair of 1915 IL license plates on Friday, I overpaid for them but eh, would have been disappointed if I didn't get something out of the auction.

Overall, well worth the price of admission and a great collection that will now be spread all around the world for others to enjoy.
