I was going to title this posting “Blood, Bath, and Beyond”, because there is the potential for this auction to set records.
The Red Top Rye shown above (the listing photo slots are mostly empty- keep scrolling right to find the listing images) just listed for sale with an opening bid of $50 and already there is a bidder in place. Offered by eBay seller scoobydoo22222, this one promises to be “interesting”. RTR glasses have a massive following and this is one of the rarest of them. Let the games begin!
So how did this auction work out? The bidding war that might have been expect did not play out in practice and the glass sold for $356.56 in the final seconds. Congrats to the winner – definitely a top-ten, display-worthy glass!
