Section III: Religion & Catholicism, Lots 158-309
Over 300 lots of rare, interesting, and significant material from six centuries, spanning the gamut of Western civilization, from the early days of Christianity to modern science fiction. Ted Watkins interests were many and varied, with few bounds on his intellectual curiosity. Primary to his collection is the large number of scarce works relating to the Christian religion, particularly Catholicism. There is also a selection of modern literature, including collections of Ray Bradbury and Flannery O’Connor. Plus illustrated books, fine bindings, history, political science, and more.
PBA Dynamic Bidding
When you place an absentee bid online, PBA's Dynamic Bidding will calculate your absentee bid against competing absentee bids and determine the current high bid amount. So, for example, if you place an absentee bid of $200 on an item with a minimum bid of $100, you will be notified that you are the high bidder and the bid is at $100. If a second bidder then places a bid of $150, your bid will be incremented up to $160. The under bidder will also be notified by email that their bid was outbid with a link to the item to enter a higher bid if desired. The current high bid will be the starting bid when the lot comes up in the live auction itself. In addition to providing full transparency, Dynamic Bidding will allow you to make more informed decisions.
