You knew this one was coming - it's the VIP tour of one of 'America's Strangest Museums' (Travel & Leisure), The Beer Can Museum & Hall of Fame, for you and a guest,  along with some great autographed items (pictured below). 'Francona' is signed by Tito himself - and not just a bookplate! 'When the Game was Ours' is signed by both Larry Bird and Magic, and, yes, your eyes aren't playing tricks on you, that's a mini foam baseball autographed by Sam Horn himself (don't ask, long story)!!!
 
While I can't provide travel to East Taunton for the tour, it will be well worth your while (and we would certainly pick someone up at the Middleboro/Lakeville commuter rail station if need be) - with grilled bratwurst, canned, cold craft beers, a museum souvenir pack, and memories to last a thousand lifetimes.  Finally, you can cross 'Tour the World Famous Beer Can Museum' off of your bucket list, and move on to other things, like bungee jumping off the Grand Canyon, or hunting for that 12 point buck with Weebs.
 
Cue the oompa band and dust off the conetops - the gem of Taunton awaits you!
 
Bidding starts BELOW the retail value of the two books (which are yours even if you can't make it down to the museum): $25.00.
 
Added a brand new copy of 'The Kid' - not signed, but getting good reviews!

Today I gave a VIP tour to an architect who specializes in museum exhibits around the country (including the NE Aquarium, US Marines Museum, National Zoo, and many more). He described his experience at the Beer Can Museum as "jaw-dropping".

JAW DROPPING, PEOPLE!!!!

Reminder of the rules:
 
1. It is the job of the auction starter to close the thread and declare the winner.
2. Anti-poaching - If someone bids in the last 5 minutes before closing, the last two bidders will make final "sealed" bids via PM - copy kevlog and me.
3. Once a winner is declared, PM me and I'll give you donation instructions.
4. I will confirm that the donation has been received.
5. It's up to buyer and seller to negotiate delivery.
 
Please DO NOT donate without talking to me first. I'm going to have the winner donate directly to one of our individual fundraising pages, which will save us both time and GoFundMe's fees, allow me to divvy the donations evenly among the four runners, and allow winners to take the charitable deduction and/or do an employer match.

Okay, by the power vested in me by myself, I declare this auction closed! Since it's two days overdue already...

Congrats MetSox1! Check your PMs for payment instructions.

Great time today with Metsox1 (Dan) and his brother in law Chuck! Tour went well and they just left for Cape Cod with full bellies - and their museum loot bags! Chuck, who went to Pitt and now lives in Princeton, posed with his 2 favorite cans! Thanks again for supporting the auction, Dan!

A big thanks to Kevlog, Chuck and I had a really great time, and Kev and his family were wonderful and very accommodating to some weary travelers.  Learned a bunch, he's included a bunch of swag that wasn't even listed in the auction listing, and I'd highly recommend anyone to bid on this if its offered next season!
 
And yeah Makman, Eno is a good dude, nice of him to push that thru.
