When two bidders blow up the value.....

[itjclarke]

Winner bid twice, upping his own high bid (well before auction end).. Wonder what his max was.

I was under bidder by $0.88 on Bancroft.. But decided to stop there, knowing the next bid would've won it.

There were three bidders over $600, and for good measure the winning bidder put in another bid (that may, or may not, have been higher than his other bid) to at least try to make people think he had increased his maximum.

This is a case of three bidders blowing up the value, it looks like a pretty normal bidding pattern to me.

I was watching as well (but from afar). Many would consider this and his 1921 Koester's Bread as his rookie card ... The mislabeled "Pep Young" 1919-21 W514 is not a popular choice.

I certainly didn't expect it to go for $600+

How do you know what their max was?

If you're losing by less than the minimum bid, then you know what someone bid.

For instance. If I bid $100 and the minimum bid was $1 and the high bid was 100.88, then I would have been ahead with the next bid

Here is an actual case of two registry dorks (oops I mean bidders) blowing up the value of a slab (oops, I mean a card) :
