Beverly Ave., just off Speedway Blvd. There is plenty of parking and a no host bar attached to the hall. SEE DIRECTIONS BELOW NOTE: FOOD will be available this year from the no host bar from 5:30 to 8:30 Included will be Hamburgers, Hot Dogs, Misc. Sandwiches, Lg Pretzels, Tacos, Club Sandwiches, Sodas, etc. Come early to examine specimens, eat & meet people from the list. (my experience with bar food is about 80% of the places are surprizingly decent - and I am told their prices are modest here & that they have good sandwiches) People wishing to submit specimens for sale should contact me as soon as possible. Items will only be accepted which are deemed to hold appeal to the collecting community and which have NO RESERVE or, at most, very modest minimums. Photos must be furnished for the catalog. Please email or call me for details. NOTE: Due to excellent early submissions, only the most exceptional offerings will be considered from this point on. ************************************************************************* ABSENTEE BIDS: One of the following are required to place an absentee bid: Visa or Mastercard number and expiration date on file OR a pledge to make immediate payment from a PayPal account with a current balance sufficient to cover all bids file:///F|/Moje%20Strony%20Web/_TucsonAuction0...ichaelbloodmeteorites.com/AuctionTucson06.html (27 z 31) [2008-08-12 16:40:39] Michael Blood - Current Meteorite Catalog you wish to place. Fee for absentee bids is + 5% only if you win the bid, of course - +5% for paying with credit card or PayPal. If you do not win the bid, there is no fee at all. Your maximum bid will not be placed, but rather bid up one increment at a time in response to live bidding at the auction. In other words, you will get the item at the lowest bid possible (similar to eBay). (On no minimum items, I generally start the bidding at 1/2 the price I estimate will be the selling price). This gives you the same advantage as being there. You may phone and leave your Visa or Mastercard (only) number with expiration date, your address and phone number (if they are not already on file with me) Be sure you receive an email response from me confirming your bid(s). (Emails sometimes get "lost") To increase likelihood of reception of your bid put "Auction Absentee Bid" in the subject box of your e-mail. BOOKS: Anne Black,Mike and Bill Jensen, co-authors of METEORITES A to Z will be offering their NEW EDITION, which has vastly more locations listed as well as other convenient updates. This is THE portable and most user friendly reference in meteoritics. I have 2 copies and use it almost daily. Buy it here, save on postage - AND get it signed! In addition, noted author, O. Richard Norton and his wife, Dorothy will both be there and will bring a few copies of each of their respective books and personally autograph copies if anyone wants to bring their own or buy on from them. Dorothy has recently had a fossil book published FULL of her illustrations on Ice Age Mammals & Richard, of course, has published two of the most important books on meteorites ever released. His ROCKS FROM SPACE II and THE CAMBRIDGE ENCYCLOPEDIA OF METEORITES belong in every collector's library. ------------------------------------------- LOCATION: VFW Post #4903 at 1150 N.

Beverly (If you get to Craycroft, YOU HAVE GONE TOO FAR - go back 2 blocks!) 3) Turn Left (north) on N. Beverly and go 1/2 block to 1150 N. Beverly Ave. FROM INN SUITES: 1)- Turn left on Granada which becomes Main as you cross St Marys. You will be going North, away from downtown, until you get to Speedway 2) Turn Right (east) on Speedway 5 miles - a few blocks past Swan to N. Beverly Ave. (If you get to Craycroft, YOU HAVE GONE TOO FAR - go back 2 blocks!) 3) Turn Left (north) onto N. Beverly Ave. and go 1/2 block to the VFW parking lot. This VFW post has plenty of parking and a no host full bar. So, be prepared to see a LOT of specimens & meet lots of people face to face. EVERYONE is invited to attend, bid and/or sell. There will be micromounts, macromounts, small specimens, part slices, whole slices, whole specimens, huge/multi-kilo specimens & RARE thin sections. All are welcome to enter specimens, whether you are a dealer or modest collector wanting to sell high quality specimens. This is NOT an event just for dealers - so, please feel free to submit any item(s). However, when the list goes over 100, I will begin to pick and choose even more closely among items offered as to which will be best to include in the auction. PRIORITY WILL BE GIVEN TO NO MINIMUM/NO RESERVE ITEMS and to ITEMS OF HIGHEST QUALITY. This promises to be a FUN time & everyone is invited to sell, buy or just enjoy the festivities. This is an opportune time for many of us on the list who know one another only via e-mails to meet face to face & get to spend some fun time together. (If you buy some stuff at the show - bring it to the auction & Show & Tell - one of the more fun aspects of collecting, in my book). Most auctions now customarily charge buyers a 10% or 15% "buyers' premium" which is added on to the winning bid price. Even for this auction, expenses have increased to the point I must charge a minimal buyers premium of 5%. I have kept this as low as possible to minimize the pinch felt by the buyers, yet allow me to continue to hold this event in the face of a 300 to 400% increase in expenses in just the last few years. Also, those who consign items for sale will be charged only 10% of the final selling price. (25% is the norm for consignments at an auction). There will be a 1% fee for failure of items to meet the minimum or reserve. On items with a photo placed prior to Dec. 30 this fee is negotiable. I only require 3 things: 1) I ask that everyone just buying arrive between 5:30 & 6:30 to pre-register to get a bid number & examine specimens that will be offered (& take advantage to meet old friends you only know by e-mail address! and "have a cold one" if you so choose (or, in Rob Elliot's case, a warm one) and, now, dinner is also an option, or at least a decent snack allowing for file:///F|/Moje%20Strony%20Web/_TucsonAuction0...ichaelbloodmeteorites.com/AuctionTucson06.html (29 z 31) [2008-08-12 16:40:39] Michael Blood - Current Meteorite Catalog a late dinner afterwords. DON'T FORGET 2) Those also selling, please have all your material at the site between 4:30 PM and 5:30PM - the earlier, the better. (Late arrivals will be accommodated, if possible, up to 6:30, but the earlier, the better). 3) LAST MINUTE ENTRIES: Due to time constraints (we ran pretty late a couple of years ago) I am limiting the auction to aprox. 125 lots. So, the better the specimen and the earlier you arrive to register, the more likely you can be of getting your piece(s) in the auction. NOTE: EARLY SUBMISSIONS MAY MAKE ON SITE ENTRIES NEARLY IMPOSSIBLE (though I will admit I will almost always take a fabulous NO RESERVE specimen - as long as it is not submitted right before the bidding is due to begin). 4) The VFW has a full bar on site. However, please drink responsibly and have a designated driver. . . . . ABSENTEE BIDDING: . . . I will be accepting absentee bids prior to the auction. I will be accepting Visa and Mastercard payments for . said absentee bids. There will be a +5% fee for paperwork/shipping + 5% processing fee for use of Visa, Mastercard or PayPal. ) - At the auction, personal checks and cash are accepted. (For purchases made with Visa/Mastercard, there will be a 5% processing fee charged). - There will be a uniformed guard to facilitate security . If you are interested in being paid to help out with the clerking of the auction, please contact me directly. It is my intention to retain the open atmosphere which has characterized my auctions since the beginning, being, when it was known as "the people's auction" where collectors could enjoy a fun social atmosphere which, I feel, provides a real service to the meteorite community. However,there are now quality specimens for sale to the more discriminating collector and opportunities for dealers to make major purchases for resale, as well. This year's auction promises to be the best to date!
