Gibson I's from Bridgeport, NE auction

Ollie Oliver · Nov 27, 2011

I hope this isn't a shot in the dark, but, I was at the famous 7 day Gary Phillips estate auction, and went down there for a Gibson I. Well, there were 3, and the first two were pretty rough, then the third was pretty dang good, looked beautiful resting under that tree. Can still picture it. Anyway, during the auction, I passed up the first two, and stayed until about 10 pm (sat there all day) for the third to sell. Well, needless to say, I almost got it, but ran out of $$$. So, I was just curious where the three Gibson's from the auction went, and if they are restored now, and if I could get pictures of them, or be put in contact with the new owners.
THanks guys!!

I wondered how that whole deal came out. The auctioneer, who I heard pulled some fast ones to get that auction after supposedly Aumuns or someone else had the contract, has been in hot water the last couple years . He lost his auctioneers license, had to sell his big auction park in Auburn IN and has been on the local news several times for suits for non payment for things he sold.Always wondered if anybody got screwed in that mega auction.

I just might, but, the one I really wanted, I watched them load it the next day after I bought a tractor next to it.

Well, these all sold Saturday of the auction. I couldn't stay the last two days, and we went home Sunday.
