[BB73]

While I was at the Big Ten Kickoff Luncheon on Friday, I was able to get nine items autographed by Malcolm Jenkins, Todd Boeckman, James Laurinatitis, and Coach Tressel. These items are now being auctioned off, with all of the money being donated to BP.

This post will be used to keep track of the bids, which should be sent to me via regular PM (not the new buddy messages). I will update the highest bid for each item as often as possible. The minimum bid for each item is $20.00. The winner will be the person with the highest PM'd bid as of noon Eastern time on Monday, August 11th. After the donation to BP has been confirmed by a site admin, I will send the item to the winning bidder.

The winning bidders will also receive $5,000 in vCash for each dollar of the purchase price. (Note - This vCash isn't from me, I've gotta catch Piney!)

Here are the items (if you wish to bid. please send a PM to BB73, and indicate which item number you are bidding on):
