Could just be a few people got in the mindset that they wanted to win the auction they had been following.

Peter I completely agree with you that some of this activity just leaves you scratching your head.

PWCC has developed a brand and a loyal customer base and while I might bid slightly more for a card they are selling because of prior positive experience nearing 50% is just hard to explain.

Many times in recent years the top Wrestling All Stars cards that come to market get consigned to them and so if I want the card I have no choice but to bid but if you were offering the card I would naturally bid too and hope I won.
One has 13 retractions, does that not stick out a little? I think it may be a case of what Brent has called "market pushing" -- that is, people trying to establish higher prices.
