A bump and a reminder that the listed auctions and more go up tomorrow and I will be posting links. Get your money ready guys!
As the scope of the items available has moved well beyond gaming, I've taken the liberty to send e-mails to a few literary SFF blogs I'm reading and asked them if they wanted to help spread the word by mentioning the auction on their blogs. Dunno if anything will come out of it, but I'll keep you updated.
It is unbelievably appreciated. We got a box from FFG today! Signed Civ board game and Signed Mansions of Madness! Greg Stolze sent some Signed RPG books! And we've had generous donations from some players as well. Here's a link to a facebook page about it. (Public). 91 fans!

Graeme Flory from Graeme's Fantasy Book Review has agreed to talk up the auction on his excellent blog:

Graeme's blog has a ton of insightful and entertaining reviews of SF, Fantasy and Horror releases, so if you're a fan of those genres (and I have an inkling that some of you might be), then you might wanna check out his site.

That Gaiman book jumped up to a crazy amount, over 150. I figured the Martin book would jump up first.
Very nice work guys! By the way, that Martell house card is glass right, not crystal? I suppose anyone will to pay $30 or more for it will know exactly what it is though.... Good job!
You guys are showing some amazing support! I can't wait to see how well Wave 1 sells!!
Is anyone interested in the playing cards portion of the baratheon house card auction? I only want the house card and would be willing to split the auction with you.
So what was the final total for amount raised?
I believe Fotonurth told me that it was about $2800. Not too shabby, I must say.
