Well if anyone now can identify who won Stan's piece... or whether he's a Dojo unknown... either way, he wanted it badly heh...

That bidder and the man next to him are there every year, same seats. One of them, the man not bidding with the ponytail, owns Lone Star Comics in Texas with many locations. He usually will bid in excess of $10,000 per year. It really is amazing to watch. I would not have stood a chance against that guy for the Stan piece though. I've been every year for the past five years, and had to miss this year. That won't happen again! And to my dismay, there were very few bidders in that video. There were twice as many last year. It is fun, and I regret missing this year.

In the past, I have won a Mouse Guard page by David Petersen, of course, and some other stuff. Always try to pick something up for this great cause.

Mark my words, I won't miss next year. And if I can get one of Stan's pieces for below $1000, that would be nice too!
