Can you put me in as a tentative in case the Platinum doesn't fill?

Bob,

I think your partner Jupinka took the last spot. He insisted on donating 10K to this league!

Disregard Bob, sorry. Had my auctions mixed up!

Whew. I need to find a league to keep me away from the blackjack tables Saturday night

I'd much rather you play Blackjack!!

Greg, is this sold out or still needs one?

It has one spot left, depending on what happens with the Platinum that night. Someone has it on hold depending on what happens there.

SOLD OUT: We're glad to welcome Michael Edelman to Las Vegas for the first time as he's doing a tripleheader with us at the Bellagio Las Vegas, including the NFBC Ultimate Auction League on Saturday, March 28th. Michael is an NFBC Charter Member who has been with us every year of the NFBC and NFFC and he will be back in New York on Easter weekend, but we're ecstatic to also have him in Las Vegas on the First Weekend. Should be a great, great time out there.

Tell me about it. Like an idiot, I've been trying to talk Edelman into coming to Vegas this year. I waited though until I thought all my leagues were filled. Unfortunately, I forgot about my Primetime. So I go and check just now and yup, there's the evil Edelman's name listed in my league. Now I'm trying to talk him into switching to Vegas' 2nd weekend instead.

Once Edelman sweet talked the wife, it was a virtual shoe-in !

I blame you too Juprinka. Edelman said that you promised that you and I were going to buy him drinks if he comes to Vegas. That's akin to someone paying a bully to take his lunch money and get shoved in a locker.

Juprinka. Still a classic!!

Don't worry Lowry, Edelman'll be out of his NY cocoon and won't know what hit him on the BIG VEGAS STAGE !

Jeff..it was all Jupinka he talked me into the Ultimate I think he forgot he was is it, he has so many partners and alias out there now he can't keep track anymore...I'll take a page out of Mr. X's book, I'm just a guppy from NY coming to vegas I'll be in awe of all those Hall of Famers dont worry about me...

All kidding aside I'm looking forward to finally getting out to vegas and putting all the names to the faces, should be a blast can't wait...

Okay, we had one owner move from the Ultimate Auction to the Platinum League on Saturday night in Las Vegas, so now we have 1 SPOT OPEN in the Las Vegas Ultimate Auction League. This one will take place on Saturday, March 28th at 5 pm PT. It's an all-star cast of competitors and it's the only auction league available now in Las Vegas on the First Weekend.

Well, that didn't take long!! The NFBC Ultimate Auction League IS SOLD OUT again as Scott Fleming grabbed that open spot in record time. He must have Message Board spies, or my office is bugged!!
