<p>[QUOTE="Gavin Richardson, post: 6485311, member: 83956"]I bid for the first time in a Frank Robinson auction.

I appreciated the personal contact. I know Frank might be unique in this kind of interaction. If I were to participate in one of his auctions again, is it protocol to first send him a note asking what the highest bid is, or should I just enter my bid and hope that I bid high enough to be the highest bidder?[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
