Thanks man. I tried to include some classics in the lot, and only games worth playing. I was going to add the K.G Jr's Winning Run, but boy did that game take a giant leap backwards.

That said, besides MVP 2005 (PC) and Reggie Jackson Baseball (SMS), Griffy Jr. on the snes is probably #3 on my top list of baseball games. Not just because of the fun factor and that it is simply a great game, it's that the game does one amazing job at capturing the feel of 90's baseball. It's extremely fast paced, the emphasis is on hitting, and a large percentage of the players are obviously juicing. I could go on and on about how this game is like a time capsule of 90's baseball.

Pretty much the reason I wanted it- I have a lot of nostalgia for that game. I'd play that and NBA Jam whenever I went to my cousin's house, and though I had no idea what I was doing at first, I liked playing a lot.

all the invoices have been sent - let me know if you run into problems or have questions.

item donors, you'll be hearing from me after Christmas (unless a buyer indicates to me that they need an item shipped beforehand).

Wonderful. I got nothing. I also now realize I didn't get any of the notifications on my bids or when I was outbid on a few things. :?

Automated email, outbid and bid notifications were working as I was getting mine when I bid or was outbid. Sometimes spam filters kick out our automated emails. Did others get notice when they were outbid?

I was getting emails, which was really nice at the end of the auction because GMail let me know I was outbid on that podcast.

I got emails as well. I think Hobie just upset GameGavel with his radical views on awesome games.

Btw, remind me how payment works on GameGavel again? There doesn't seem to be a Paypal integration, so do we just paypal the email listed under Dave's name?
