Sorry. Been busy catching up on your player alert posts with all the information that most everyone on here over the age of 15 knew about already a week prior to you posting it.

why not join the diamond auction mike? Slots are available and the payback % is fantastic.

On the downside for you, I know the level of competition in this league would be like you going from rookie ball straight to the bigs. Is that what’s holding you back? Show a little courge. Iron balls? More like stale pussy

Do we need to re-name this auction the "Beat Gordon Gekko Diamond Auction" to attract owners? Let's go!

Where are all the Auction tough guys? Come take my money!

Okay, I sent out an email for some feedback on this contest and to ask folks to recruit others. It's time to get busy to make sure we have a Diamond event at 4 pm on Sunday in Las Vegas. LET'S DO THIS.

We do have one team that always partners together, but they would be willing to take separate teams if that helps get us to 15. So let's say we are officially at 12 teams with the hope of 1 or 2 owners out there still considering. Thanks guys for that.

Can we find three more to venture in at this price point? It's the highest profile auction in the industry and there are seventy-five thousand reserves to join this one. Let's keep pushing all.

Greg has hired me to fill this auction.

Diamond Auction Math
1st place- $75,000
2nd place - $35,000
3rd place- $20,000
4th place (BONUS) - $10,000

Highest ROI in NFBC auctions.

4th place gets their money back!!! Those on the fence, come on, you know you are good enough for at least 4th place.

Okay, we are making a little progress on the NFBC Diamond Auction League right now. Bill Phipps and Eric Kesselman will take separate teams if needed, which brings us to 12 teams. We have one other former owner interested as well. Hoping for one more return from last year.

We obviously have time with this one, so keep spreading the word. We have some momentum. Let's keep it going.

2 more to go!! Hurry up Lowy before i take your Rd 30 sentimental choice-David Wright.

Nice. Glad to welcome Jeff Singer, a new participant to the NFBC and to the NFBC Diamond Auction. This is going to fill and hopefully soon. Thanks all.

That’s what I’m taking about. Let’s do this gentleman!!!

NOW ONLY 1 GUARANTEED SPOT LEFT in the NFBC Diamond Auction League as KJ Duke is returning this year. We may have room for two spots as Eric and Bill will take separate teams if needed, but one for sure. Sign up online or contact me at [email protected] if you have interest in this last spot. We do have some folks mulling it, so things look good for this one.

Thanks all. Here's the current signup list:

I'll extend this offer for another 24 hours. Rumor has it a fellow Red Sox fan is lurking for the final spot. I may need to start at $37. Hurry up boys!

GREAT NEWS: Jim Ferrari has decided to return to the NFBC Diamond Auction League as we now have 15 teams. Jim is an original member of the Diamond Auction League and he worked this into his busy schedule to return again. So we have a great lineup right now.

That being said, we could still add one more team if there is interest out there. Bill Phipps and Eric Kesselman said they would take separate teams if it helped to fill this one up, but their preference is to split a team, especially after they won this contest in 2017. So if you want to join this contest Registration still shows 14/15.

But thanks to Jim we know this one will have 15 teams. Thanks all and good luck in the battle for the $75,000 league prize.

We are happy to announce today that Steve Veneziano jumped into the NFBC Diamond Auction today and is excited to be joining us in Las Vegas for the first time and joining the Diamond Auction league for the first time. This now gives us 15 teams for this great event with one potential team in reserve. Give us a bit to get all payments before finalizing this, but this is GREAT NEWS.
