Rob Bucheri, Ken Gutermuth and Bruce
Monnin get schooled by Andy Gardner in the semifinals. |
Owen Kyrollos, fresh off his victory
over defending champ Schoose, falls to Jonathan Lockwood in the
semis. |
A Portent of Things to Come ...
The mulligan round winners were led by high scorer Bruce Monnin
($8390). Nick Smith held off Cabbie Sean McCulloch by a mere
$440 to also advance. Joining them in the semis were 2011's runner
up, Rob Buccheri and fifth ranked laurelist Ken Gutermuth. On
Wednesday, Owen Kyrollos ended John Schoose's title defense.
The day's top scorer was Andy Gardner ($7880). He was joined
in the semifinals by three past champions: Bruce Reiff, Jon Lockwood
and Steve Cuccaro.
Ken soon learned this was not his year when his first sale
of the semifinal was deemed an imitation. Andy went on to crush
Ken, Bruce Monnin and Rob with the event's highest total ($9800).
Bruce's $6700 proved sufficient to earn a seat at the Final.
Nick gathered sets of coins, books and miniatures plus $1810
in cash to advance. Jon joined him in the Final with a $6340
second.
The Final's opening auction was miniatures, won by Bruce for
$560. He then sold some glassware for a nice profit. Miniatures
went again, this time to Nick for $500, who then raised some
cash by selling prints and tapestries. Auction 6 turned out to
be a lot sale of two figurines, some sterling and the always
important Buyer's Card. Nick was able to walk away with it for
$1740. After that some expensive 100% value jewelry went unsold
followed by rare miscellany, won by Jon for $1000. The game clincher
turned out to be Auction 10 for two Buyer's Cards and some coins,
going to Andy for $1500. Nick then spent $940 on Queen Anne furniture
before Andy won the whole shootin' match with some prints for
$420. Andy finished with $7510, followed by Jon ($5550), Bruce
($1850) and Nick ($1070) for the first of his two titles of the
week.

Mr. Auction himself, Bruce Reiff,
is resplendent in his Legion shirt ... the chains - not so much.
|
Jonathan Lockwood, Andy Gardner and
Bruce Monnin await the bashful Nick Smith's play in the Final.
