On this occasion the auction was not only the most enthusistic of all those held to date, but
also had simultaneous translation from Spanish to Chinese with some brushstrokes of
English and French. Hard to see more languages mixed in one auction; and not only that,
but also record numbers were reached.

Set of Dalmore, The Angel’s Share (a Man’s Chan present ) €325
Torres Eiffel Set – Deluze €300
Macallan 1998 ( conmemorative 9th Guangzhou meeting – a Guangzhou President present) €225
Chivas Royal Salute set ( including the brown one ) €170
Pirámid Cognac Paulet €140
On Saturday, and as usual, we celebrate the trading day. It was held in a large room,
where 23 tables were gathered, among which, stood the José Aybar’s table, that put for the
first time, or the CECBL table itself, which counted with most of the commemorative minis
of previous years, except those already discontinued.

The day began with some calm, until the entrance in the
room of our Chinese friends. I can only judge by the
Club’s table, which was served by Miguel Angel
Dominguez, Alberto Puga and myself; there were
moments that we were not able to attend, as between
the idiomatic difficulties and the peculiarities of the
Chinese “type” of buyer, that is to say “haggling and
curious” we almost ended up crazy, although satisfied
and tired of so much activity.
