Seems like the commentator, along w/the auctioneer know something about pins. I guess they could be reading off cards.

Quoted from Knxwledge:Dunno if this one has been shared already but someone on KLOV made a spreadsheet which has lot hammer prices AND bidder numbers. Check out buyer 2248, 2959 and 1660 in particular

Bidder 1660 was rather busy:

Total: $139,300.00
Quoted from pookycade:So what’s the hi-lo on how much John made or lost in total on this venture. Sure we see the somewhere between $2-$5M on sales. Bully for him. But how much did he invest to get there. And by invest I mean not just the original cost of the games to begin with but mortgage, utilities, insurance, upkeep, for several years. That was not cheap and it was undoubtedly negative given how little he was open. Tax write off for sure (and yes I know MOP was a non profit and separate but all the same the assets were still his and almost certainly depreciated). I strongly suspect he comes out ahead, but maybe not as much ahead as the auction sales would suggest.
Weren't some of the pins donated to the museum? But John benefited from the sale in the end? So were they donated to John? No clue regarding the agreement, and not making any judgement, just curious.
Quoted from Isochronic_Frost:Bidder 1660 has bought nearly everything!
Same bidder was real busy during the other weekend too.

Richie Knucklez posted a GoFundMe begging for money to transport his collection out of Banning. All of it reeks of emotional manipulation from a worthless community "figurehead" with a cult of personality. He shoulda sold 3 B-list titles at the Captains Auction and he would have had the money.
He's got 12 DK's. 12! He could sell two or three and probably cover a big chunk of it.
