12:34 P.M EST A lot of bids going on right now as some YN 's are going hot out of the gate. Over 50 people watching consistently! New record!
1:02 P.M. EST A lot of YN's still holding out waiting for the right moment to strike. Reports of many people with over 1,000 YN dollars leaves us with an interesting storyline heading into the meat of the auction. Nothing major happening as of late but stay tuned for more!
1:08 P.M. EST Some fun quotes from YN's:
999 Kevman: "The Lots are selling fast. bid, bid, bid.
Coin King 15:"this auction is a great time for all those who participate, thanks to all who made this possible."
Mihir K: "Too much calling going on; just be well prepared, bid and be surprised. That's the fun of it."
UPDATE: 53 registered bidders officially.

YN's paying their respects to Rollie and Abby Z bought lot #76 for 200 Yn dollars
Jonas also is the first person in YN auction history to use an emoji to bid as he used an 100 emoji on lot #76. Major style points.
Rest In peace, Rollie.
