From using unattended bidder numbers to raise bids, to “accidentally” bidding if you even scratch your nose! It’s all in good fun and of course for a very good cause. To give you an example, the first year I was there, I didn’t know about the “no rules” clause and accidentally left my bidder card on my chair. Pretty soon, I was the proud owner of one of Tiny’s straw hats for $25! Then shortly after that, I was bidding on a Jacques Wiener medal I had my eye on, and before I know it, Todd Pollock is bidding against me. But as I found out a little too late, he had “counterfeited” my bidder card and was bidding against me with my own bidder number!!! Such shenanigans are common in the YN auction, so newbies beware!</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>Anyway, I am a Game of Thrones lover so I had my eye on the GoT tokens made by Joe Paonessa. </p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://i441.photobucket.com/albums/qq139/thepennylady/2014%2006%20ANA%20Summer%20Seminar/IMG_5985_zps7c9e72e4.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>I mentioned this lot to Rick. He said they might go for $300 and that he was interested in them too but wouldn’t bid on them since he knew I wanted them. I said $300 was about my limit on them. So when my lot came up (No. 40), I held up my number and bid $100. Then to my complete surprise and shock, Rick bids $200! I turn to him and shouted “Traitor!” and see him snickering. No one else was bidding so I bid $300. Rick then bids $400! I smacked him in the arm. He then turned to me and said “how about if we split the lot and each pay $200. I agreed and we stood up and told the auctioneer we would split the $400 bid. I thought that was the end of it, when my buddy to me left suddenly bids $500!! I knew he didn’t want the tokens and was just bidding them up because he knew I wanted them. Boy, what are friends for?! So I slug him in the arm. Then Rick turns to me and says “how about if we bid $600 an split it?” I reluctantly agreed but said “that had better be it from both of you!” They both agreed and we won the lot for $600. Luckily, there was two of each token in the lot so it was easy to split.</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://i441.photobucket.com/albums/qq139/thepennylady/2014%2006%20ANA%20Summer%20Seminar/IMG_5978_zps22871ba0.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://i441.photobucket.com/albums/qq139/thepennylady/2014%2006%20ANA%20Summer%20Seminar/IMG_5979_zpse02b9bda.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>Rick and Tom Hallenback went head to head on the biggest auction item of the night, the ancient gold coin that is on the cover of the auction catalog.
