The Houston Astros cheated Major League Baseball from 2017-18!!!! Is that how we teach our kids to play the game now?????
Thanks for the donation!
There's some really screwy bidding going on there. 59 bids in one day? With person or persons putting in 10-20 bids in a row at $2 increments?
Not sure. VFB is conducting the auction. Bids look private.
VFB have sent out a newsletter specifically for this auction, it may have gone to many subscribers.
$535 after 2 days!!! WOW!! I really hope that's legit. Still VFB customers have very deep pockets...
"A real limited edition, far from being an expensive autograph stapled to a novel, is a treasure. And like all treasures do, it transforms the responsible owner into a caretaker, and being a caretaker of something as fragile and easily destroyed as ideas and images is not a bad thing but a good one...and so is the re-evaluation of what books are and what they do that necessarily follows." - Stephen King
I am thrilled with the auction. Presuming VFB forwards the donation (and I am sure they will), this is great for the fundraiser.
TIA to VFB.
Why are we thinking this will be added to our total? I don't see anything that says that.
The auction is pretty clear about Haven getting the money:

The Haven Foundation is a national, nonprofit organization making grants to freelance writers and artists experiencing career-threatening illness, accident, natural disaster or other emergency or personal catastrophe.

Because I contacted Emanuelle directly and asked if he would be willing to contribute an item to the HF. He has in my opinion, surpassed all expectations, in not only providing multiple items but also in spreading the word to all of his customer base to attract interest in the auction. This has lead to both Lija's Library and The Collector's (Tomas) sites both making mention of the auction too.
This amount of publicity (coupled with his clientele, who have deep pockets) seems to have worked very well indeed, judging by the current top bid!

Sorry for the miscommunication, allow me to ask my question again with one word bolded.
Why are we thinking this will be added to our total?
Honestly, in other words ... why do we care?
Because he is doing it on behalf of our Haven Fund Raiser and the proceeds will be sent to, Jerome. Very, very nice of him, and he is doing a bang up job from what I can see. IMHO. I do understand your concern, Shannon, but he was asked by a member behind the scenes to contribute and this is his response. Very, very cool of him.
