I ask this seriously, not sarcastically: Are there people who have the $$ to bid on the types of items we are discussing who are actually driven to bid more if they think they are in a competition?

I think that the fewer the number of potential buyers there are...the higher the potential for that to happen. Its called bragging rights

If you owned the hypothetical t206 Jackson that was mentioned earlier in this thread....wouldn't you love to know that Steve Jobs and Bill Gates are both closet Jackson collectors and will be bidding for the card...and don't you think each might be willing to spend perhaps another million just to "stick" it to their rival.
