I don't think "bidding against himself is required. All (I'm not defending Heritage -- they were very sloppy and careless, to Powell's surprise and disappointment) that is required (and clear in hindsight) is for him to submit one-increment bids on each individual lot in the early going so that he could pick those bids up in overtime if the Set Lot closed first and the Individual Lots then went on to win.

I get what you are saying, but that doesn't seem like a viable solution, either. Some of the individual lots may well be closed by the time 1-2 of the cards drive the individual lots past the set price.

This may have been raised already and if so, apologies for missing it�

But is there a way to know if at the time stamp of the full set�s hammer close and �win� to Powell, that lot price exceeded the aggregate sum of the individual card prices? Yes, the individual cards were still being actively bid on past that point because they themselves were receiving active bids. However, according to the stipulation at the end of each listing:

If price of the set exceeds the sum of the twelve individual cards, the victory will be awarded to the high bidder for the complete set. (HA)

A few pages back, Powell was ahead by a few thousand when the the hammer fell on the complete set lot.
