Joe D.and even more than non-trust....
I would prefer making that decision as I go.
I don't see the benefit of putting a big max bid on auctions.
1) I can't imagine anyone actually gets scared away from a card they want when they see that they are topped quickly. I wouldn't be.
2) I wouldn't get discouraged one bit if we were competing for a card. I place an early bid and don't care if I get outbid early on - the game starts in the last hours or in the extended time.
3) Put an early bid in - and wait until extended hours.... then start the bidding war. If you are close to the highest you will pay (and would prefer getting a good night's sleep) - then put in the max bid. Otherwise, I would just manually bid each time.
just my opinion.
good luck.
