Auction 3 Results — A Community We Built Together
Auction 3 has officially closed, and we wanted to take a moment to celebrate what this community accomplished together.
Across the sale, more than 3,500 bidders placed over 18,000 bids, resulting in nearly $450,000 in total hammer. Those numbers are exciting on their own, but what matters more is how they were achieved: through open discussion, shared expertise, and a marketplace shaped by collectors themselves.
Congratulations to all of the winning bidders, and sincere thanks to the sellers who trusted L5 with exceptional material. The results below are not just strong sales — they are the product of an engaged, informed, and active community.
