This rich collector has a much deeper pocket and willing to pay whatever it take to own this Cobb BL460.

A, I will not bid heavily since I know I won't win and I don't want to bid too much to "inflate" the price in case a 3rd specimen come up in the future, so that it won't set an inflated price as a market value for the 3rd specimen.

B, I know that rich collector wants the card so bad, I will keep on bidding and make him pay an insane amount.

C, My budget is just $X and that's my max bid.


<<< I personally would go for A >>>>
I would bid as much as I was willing to pay for it and not worry about anyone else. If it goes past my "max" bid then it wasn't meant to be. Pockets are only so deep and "someone" will always have deeper pockets.
