And if you get lucky, your competitors will drop out early.

But there's still plenty of bidding wars out there.

Case in point: This piece where someone decided to push me pretty hard last night, to the extent that I had to overpay to get it:

I thought a number of items in Heritage went cheap. But, of course, not the things I wanted. At least my competitor completely overpaid for the one item I really wanted. And I thought the prices in Leland’s on the old stuff last night was very solid. Perhaps the more commodity-like cards are softening, but the rare stuff is not; at least not when I am bidding!
