Yesterday I posted about this Gretzky stick auction, and wondered why the bidding seemed tame (it was sitting at $42K). My original post here: https://www.onmantel.com/post/845b7027-6961-4690-a35d-10255c588791

One day later and the auction ends with a new record, and what must have been a flurry of bidding. Recap story from @Will here: https://www.cllct.com/sports-collectibles/auctions/wayne-gretzky-hockey-stick-used-in-his-last-stanley-cup-title-run-sells-for-record-336k

Auctions are always fascinating. Just when you think one seems sleepy, a bidding war takes off and you get a record price.

Cool piece, and good timing from the seller with the Oilers trying to extend the Stanley Cup Finals to a game 7 later tonight.
