*C/I in the TICF auction

News: Welcome to the Canadian Paper Money Forum.

did any one here know what this note sold for?

The *C/I at the 2006 TICF was pulled from the auction just prior to the start.

Several collectors including myself, BWJM, eyevet and others, approached those running the auction and
presented them with evidence that the note in the auction was not a real *C/I but a regular C/I prefix
that had been tampered with to appear as this rare replacement.

The last authentic *C/I which sold at the 2005 TICF auction sold for $10K plus the juice (i.e. CDN $11,500).

where did the expression "plus the juice" come from?

I would be interested in knowing that as well.  For anybody who hasn't heard the expression, "The Juice" refers to the buyer's
commission or premium paid in a public auction (normally 10%-15% of the Hammer Price).

* The "Hammer Price" refers (metaphorically) to the auctioneer's gavel when he pounds the podium to conclude the bidding on
a certain item.

I have a friend who is a ticket broker/ scalper.

He uses the term juice too when referring to tickets bought or sold above face value.

boy you guys must be young! the first time juice was used was when bookies chareged a percent when you made a bet . on sports. (i paid alot of juice). JUST AN OLD GUY.
